Trayvon Martin receives posthumous aeronautical science degree
Fox news ^ | May 14, 2017

A South Florida university awarded an honorary degree to Trayvon Martin, Saturday.

Martin’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, took the stage at Florida Memorial University’s commencement in Miami Gardens to receive a posthumous bachelor’s degree in aeronautical science on their son’s behalf.

Fulton and Martin said the ceremony was bittersweet, and now they’re passing on an inspirational message to Trayvon’s fellow graduates.

“To the graduates, I tell you, there is no limit to what you can do,” said Fulton. “Just stay focused and put your mind to it, and you can do it.”

Tells you exactly how totally stupid people in this country have become by giving a known thug, someone who could barely spell his own name, etc., such a degree. This country is headed down hill at a rapid pace when acts such a this are enacted.

Trump should dig up his corpse and send it to deep space as a sign of respect.

Very fitting given the degree. The air is pretty thin out there and he won’t be hampered by not really being an aeronautical engineer.

Good Lord! A Bachelor's in aeronautical science? For what - remedial Skittles management?

Doesn't this cheapen a degree from this institution just a little bit? And what about those who actually put in the work to earn their degrees? How do they feel about it?

Hell, you can't even consider this to be a 'participation award'- how much study did Trayvon do in this area, beyond maybe watching Lost In Space?

If he'd been attending this school and working towards this degree, I could be a little more on-board with the idea, but this is an absolute joke.

While it is true that the dearly departed Trayvon devoted intense study to something that flies through the air, that science is more properly known as ballistics, not aeronautics.

What 'in you face' phoniness.
(This is as phony as having Morgan Freeman talking about going 'through the wormhole' as if he know's what he's talking about)

Only time that little thug was flying was when he was on drugs.

Punk.

Coward.

Stupid.

Yet they give him a degree?

Morons.

The co-pilot of EgyptAir Flight 990, which crashed off New England in 1999, killing 217 people, deliberately crashed the plane as an act of revenge, according to a source close to the investigation.
Fly to Die.

Good thing he doesn’t get to work on aircraft design.

Like giving a posthumous medical degree to Typhoid Mary.

This is a prime example of how far the Left has moved from the normal universe.

Trayvon Matin was a little thug and had been kicked out of school before getting a fight with Henderson and getting himself killed.

Who runs this school who would think this was a good idea? Diminishes the integrity and importance of those folks who earn their degrees legitimately.

What a sick culture, glorifying criminality and non-achievement. It’s beyond disgusting.

Why stop at a BS? Why not a PhD? Hell.....why not a Nobel prize?—jointly with Michael Brown, of course!

I suppose so, he certainly could make his fists fly ... but little else

I think it was based on the fact that he liked to get high
