Without disparaging motherly hope that an errant young son will change for the better, this poor woman has plainly taken that virtue to the point of delusion. Trayvon Martin wanted the thug life, not the book bound drudgery required to learn calculus, physics, and the principles of flight. Pretending that he has instead done just that and earned a degree in aeronautics is foolish. Instead of a phony degree and unmerited honors, Trayvon Martin offers the painful and necessary lesson that youthful delinquency and criminal misconduct are not a harmless phase of growing up but are self-destructive and can easily define or even end a life.

MY very first thought when I heard this was :
HOW do the real students-—that PAID for their tuition—their books—their lodging—their meals—for years feel about such a handout to a gang thug?
Funny how that ONE pic of Trayvon—contemporary in time & showing him flashing gang signs & covered with tats went into the dark archives very quickly.
I syspect that this media would show pics of Jeffrey Dahmer as a 6 year old to try & make him look better....
IMO, this media is killing itself, and at the same time, setting up the Dems for the same result.

Next, they will give him credit for inventing the FTL drive.
Bookmark under laughs.
...gives me a warm feeling.
Trayvon certainly deserves the honor. He was alwaws higher than a kite.
I doubt he could spell "aeronautical", let alone give a reasonable definition of what it encompasses.
With a Minor in Purple Drank.
Ya know, that "teacher in space" got her masters in education from Bowie State College (Maryland), an HBCU school.
Nah, if they're hurting that much to feel the need to "honor" someone who was not not only a failed student, but a failed civilized human being, perhaps they should rethink their mission.
This got me thinking of where I heard of this school before. Now I remember that his “girlfriend” Rachel was too dumb to get in with help;
snip -
“When the village meets now, Jeantel has a seat at the table. Some days she wants to go to fashion school, which Joyner’s foundation will not pay for. Other days she says, with a voice of fulsome determination, “I want that college degree.” Vereen wants her to go to Florida Memorial, a small private university founded in 1879 to educate blacks in southern Florida.”
I can find next to nothing about her since articles like this from mid 2014. Appears that the TDIT ( Trayvon Death Industry Tour ) got their wish that she would disappear down a memory hole.
“The name “Trayvon Martin” has become a trademark...and there’s an ongoing industry built around it.”
Boy, ain’t that the truth. And I find it despicable. One thing in particular makes me despise the Dem Party and liberals. It is the fact that they continually make saints out of sinners, and idols out of murderers, terrorists and anarchists. That they always champion the scum of society rather then good, solid people that make this country work.
Liberals as they see it, are protecting the underdog, no matter how despicable that underdog is. All of these vermin are victims of society and capitalism, victims of circumstance, victims of outside forces beyond their control, always victims that need saving by the morally (and I use that word loosely) sanctimonious left. And thus they continually attempt to lower society to its lowest common denominator.
We must all suffer equally. In other words, the liberal left thus are the champion of socialism, fascism, and communism. All philosophies based on control of the masses, and policy-wise, most perpetuate evil, mayhem, destruction, and war. Their philosophies must be destroyed by all good people, torn down and discarded on the ash heap of history, if we are to survive as a free people.
Only time that little thug was flying was when he was on drugs.
Punk.
Coward.
Stupid.
Yet they give him a degree?
Morons.
Sick joke. Got to be.
