Florida Memorial University has announced it is awarding Trayvon Martin, a Florida teenager killed by George Zimmerman in 2012, with a degree in aeronautical science. Martin had a "love of flying," the school says, and had aspired to become a pilot.

Sabrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, Martin's parents, will accept the degree on their son's behalf at Florida Memorial University's commencement ceremony on May 13, the school announced this week. Born in February 1995, Martin would be 22 years old, an age many US college students attain a bachelor's degree.

Fulton is an alumnus of the school, and the university already houses the Trayvon Martin Foundation, co-founded by Trayvon's parents.

A degree in marketing would have been more appropriate.

This demeans any degrees issued by this institution, assuming they have any value now.

Its appropriate since he was probably very high when he tried his last mugging.

They may give him an aviation degree, but he is definitely grounded.

I would have thought Michael Brown would have been given the honorary degree in aviation.

At least he was flapping his arms saying “Don’t Shoot!”

That’s what I heard. /s

You learn something new every day.

I thought Trayvon's majors were purple drank and burglary
