If anyone in Congress truly felt in the Oath they swore, they would demand not one dollar of Federal grants would go to such an institution.
I guess Oaths do not mean much anymore.
Tell that to God someday.

Come and listen to a story ‘bout a boy man kid
Poor Trayvon thug barely kept hisself in school
Then one day he was scouting for a score,
And down to the ground Zimmermann he threw,
(Knock out game, Black game, ignored crime)
...
This?

I thought Elton and Bernie already wrote their song for him:
And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
And he shall be Trayvon,
in tradition with the family plan.
And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
......heeee shaaaall beeee TraaaaayyyyVVVVVVooooooonn.

Trayvon Martin
- Suspended from school for fighting a school bus driver.
- Suspended from school for a baggie with pot dust and stolen jewelery in his backpack.
- Frequently engaged in Fight Club type street fighting.
- Wrote on the internet about getting 'codine' to make some 'fire ass lean.'
- Posted pics of himself smoking pot, sporting gold grills, flipping the bird, holding wads of cash, making gang signs and a gun he was selling.
- Posted explicit remarks about what he wanted to do to 'hos.'
- Posted to a friend that his friend should kill someone the friend had a problem with.
- Posted conversations about the fights he had been in including the fight with the bus driver. No regrets he was proud and boastful of it all.
" We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, thats a job for all of us. Thats the way to honor Trayvon Martin." - President of the United States Barack Hussein 0bama

Who knows why you just had to make that lean,
who knows why you became part of the gangsta scene,
who knows who sold you all them blunts,
who understood your whistles and your grunts,
who made you assault the neighborhood watch,
whose jewelry was that you were caught w/at school
who made you act the ghetto fool?
Why didnt your Crip daddy stick around,
whose head on the pavement did you pound,
who had to make a decision that fateful night,
when you left him no escape and picked a fight,
who made the choice to mock and sass,
an armed watchman (you called creepy ass),
who couldve gone home but didnt there go,
instead walked towards a six foot deep hole.

With apologies to Horst Wessel....
Hoodies high, ranks closed
The homies march with pants slung low.
Comrades shot by the white hispanics
march in spirit with us in our ranks.
The street free for the brown battalions,
The street free for the grievance lords.
Millions, full of dope, look up at the skittles;
The day breaks for freedom and for skittles.
For the last time the lean will now be drunk;
For the struggle now we all stand ready.
Soon will fly Trayvon-flags over every street;
Old School will last only a short time longer.
Hoodies high, ranks closed,
The homies march with pants slung low.
Comrades shot by the white hispanics
march in spirit with us in our ranks.
