The teenager that was the last to speak with Trayvon Martin has announced she will move forward with an opportunity presented to her by national radio DJ Tom Joyner.

Jeantel, a South Florida high school student and friend of Trayvon Martin who was the last person to speak with Martin, was ostracized by the court of public opinion, her character attacked along with her appearance.

But she has a 3.0; that’s her IQ, not GPA.

She can’t read cursive. What is wrong with this picture? They couldn’t find a more deserving kid who studied hard and stayed out of trouble?

Comrade, get with the program! Marxism does not reward based on merit, it rewards based on need! The idea of studying and working hard to achieve something is very bourgeois.

Public schools - taxpayers pay her fees, she gets her "B"s.

If her famly owned (has) two bookcases* then she will exceed scholastically and in life. * recent thread on some idiot study that tried to equate furniture ownership with pedigree.

No, that is an indication of how stupid one can be... how ignorant and uneducated once can be and still pull a B in public school. This is dumbing down to the lowest common denominator... and rachel is the lowest pond scum out there. She set the bar on the ground.

Based on the title, I thought that rachel accepted an offer to be a radio DJ.

Well, she definitely has the voice for radio, but that would be a waste. She needs to hold out for a TV news reader gig.

And the DJ will soon realize he has wasted a bunch of time and money.

Count on that.


And he won't be able to fire her without it costing millions more.

I agree and am not surprised. A new PR movement. She needs to get out of high school first. I suppose affirmative action will intervene and she will be propelled through high school and college; but the question is; does she really deserve to. At this point, no. It’s a real shame to do this to a person.

I’m happy for her.

Dittos on that sentiment. People cannot help the circumstances they are born into, and anyone who desires to take advantage of opportunities in life deserves a chance just like the rest of the Conservatives who post at FR. If I'm not mistaken, that's what Conservatism is all about.

There are guys getting football scholarships who make her look like a genius.

Why shouldn’t she get the same useless college education they get?

Maybe the college she will go to has an athletic scholarship program for Female Sumo wrestlers.
