Is that because he was always flying high? It certainly couldn't be because of his prowess at bashing peoples heads in against the sidewalk. One might think that an honorary degree would be bestowed upon someone that you might want your children to emulate. What a !@#$ed up society we live in. "A university will award Trayvon Martin a posthumous Bachelor of Science Degree in aviation five years after the black teenager was fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in a central Florida neighborhood. An announcement on Florida Memorial University’s official Facebook page says Martin’s parents, Sabrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, will accept the degree during a May 13 commencement ceremony. Fulton graduated from the Miami Gardens university and, along with Tracy Martin, co-founded the Trayvon Martin Foundation. The university’s statement says it will honor the steps Martin, who was 17 when he died in 2012, " Edited May 6, 2017 by grinreaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think this is odd behavior? What about that biker killed in a barroom brawl who like to play with his chemistry set when he was young. Why doesn't he get an honorary degree in chemistry?

Seeking out the dumb story to find outrage is a tactic the liberals used to dominate. Republicans want equal time I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that school is using Martin for free publicity, in order to increase enrollment/donations and make more money. He's a high-profile sob story that they can exploit.

If he had followed the 911 operators instructions and stayed in his car then none of this would have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
