Florida university to award Trayvon Martin a posthumous honorary degree
2017-05-06
[TampaBayTimes]. The private university announced Wednesday that Martin's parents, Sabrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, will accept a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical science with a concentration in flight education on behalf of their son.

The degree is in "honor of the steps he took during his young life toward becoming a pilot,"
Flying high on drugs, oh yeah. But you simply must read what Wikipedia says about the angelic young man now, dear Reader, in order to understand this apparently daft action.
the school said in a Facebook post. Florida Memorial's Department of Aviation and Safety has a designated Cessna pilot training center, and the school also houses the Trayvon Martin Foundation. It is based in Miami Gardens, where Trayvon Martin lived with his father.
I hear Delta may be hiring.
Per university on-line stats (which could not be copied w/o written permission), student diversity is '72.3% black or African American.' This might have something to do with the decision to award an honorary degree.

#13  If he hadn't been suspended from high school he would not have been shot. Today, socialist reeducation camps are the universities, and Trayvon is their poster boy.

#12  They'd also like to award some honorary student load payments, but they can't get anybody to sign.

#9  Run, Trayvon! A cravenly cracker
Annoys an angelic young snacker,
Who hastens to smite him
While kneeling astride him
In flight from his flattened attacker.

#5  Ought to sell big with SJW HR departments for job applicants. Others, which will more likely still be in business for years, the circular file. Though I recommend applying to those who do private jet maintenance for celebrates, to show their social virtue creds.

#4  A degree in criminal behavior would have been way more believable.

#3  I'm sure the rest of the graduates in aeronautical science are ecstatic about their job prospects.
