Students go back to school with ‘Trayvon Martin dialogues’
The daily Caller ^ | 08/09/2013 | Robby Soave

Middle and high school students in San Diego, California will be encouraged to vent their frustration that the world lacks justice when they return to school and participate in the “Trayvon Martin dialogues” this fall.

The board of San Diego Unified Schools unanimously approved a proposal recently to establish classroom forums to discuss the death of Trayvon Martin, a black teenager who was shot during an altercation with a Hispanic man, George Zimmerman, in Florida last year. A jury recently acquitted Zimmerman, who claimed that Martin struck first and shot him in self-defense.

The sponsors of San Diego’s Trayvon Martin dialogues, however, believe the resolution of the case has produced in teenagers “feelings of fear, anger, and skepticism that they will live in a just society,” according to The College Fix.

The full proposal calls for forum participants to explicitly condemn “stand your ground” laws, which permit citizens to use force to defend themselves in dangerous situations instead of retreating. Florida’s law was erroneously credited with prompting the conflict between Martin and Zimmerman, though the matter never became a significant factor at the trial, since Zimmerman had no option to retreat, according to his official testimony.

And you’ve yet to hear an apology from anyone involving the A. Tawana Brawley debacle, or B. The Duke LAX attempted railroading.

As a matter of fact the nuts on the left still think “something happened” in both incidences.

These people are evil to the core, and dangerous.

calls for forum participants to explicitly condemn

Not much of a “dialog” if the kids are told at the outset what to say.

Easier that teaching them cursive writing, how to spell, how to speak eloquently, how to find San Diego on a map, how to add, and how America came to be.

I'd hate to be growing up nowadays. My family telling me one thing, the school telling me another.

Dialog: Don’t be a thug, don’t make Purple Drank, don’t wear the shroud of Saint Skittles!

Dialog: Don't be dope-smokin', gangsta wannabe!

“a black teenager who was shot during an altercation with a Hispanic man, George Zimmerman, in Florida last year.”

a teenager who was shot while attacking another man in Florida last year

RACE WAS NOT A FACTOR

In other words force kids to go to the front of the class and repeat the leftist mantra. Isn't that what our school system is all about these days? Leftist mantra!

What happens to students who agree with the verdict? Will they be punished in some manner, either by school officials or by other students? In other words, will this be a real “dialogue” or simply indoctrination? I am sure that the “facilitators” will try to steer the “dialogue” in a “suitable” manner.

This is just stupid NONSENSE. Trayvon Martin was a criminal drug users, wannabe gang banger. He is NO ONE to be held out to others for any reason. Someone in the black community must step up and try to see that this insanity is stopped.

Yeah, right!

Did you see the video of the 3 Trayvons beating up a white kid in Florida while the busdriver looked on and didn’t intervene?

The white kid sustained a broken rib and broken arm.

The three Trayvons were arrested, but will get off with a slap on the wrist.

When whigger-punks and teachers become morgue stats in the thousands, then maybe the stand you ground "dialogue" will change.

Wow, how long will they keep telling the same lie Ben Crump & Co. use to bilk the system?

I want to tell the youth who follow this propaganda to stop and think for yourself. Try to develop the necessary critical thinking skills to sort out the truth from such instances. Don’t let them do this to you!

Yes, but the white kid looked like Zimmerman, while the 3 on 1 assault was a fair fight according to thug-yoot rules.

Given that the left has virtually annointed this thug as some kind of saint, based purely on their blind faith in the goodness of Trayvon and the wickedness of his killer, these discussions should be barred based on the separation of church and state!

Ican see it now, a new national club and the kids can call themselves “The Crumpateers.” They can live by the creed of race baiting for $$$ is even better when you can just make up your facts and that a beatdown is a right.
