Funny, how being black and dead fast tracks to a college degree. Stranger than fiction...

quote:
The slain Florida teenager -- killed by George Zimmerman five years ago -- will be awarded a posthumous bachelor's degree in aeronautical science from Florida Memorial University.
Martin's parents, Sabrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, will accept the degree on his behalf during the school's spring commencement on May 13. Fulton is an alumnus of the school, a historically black university in Miami Gardens, Florida.
The aeronautics degree is in "honor of the steps he took during his young life toward becoming a pilot," the school said in a Facebook post.

Yep, Trayvon knew a special way to fly. Yes sir, he did.

No boring history or English classes, or all that social studies nonsense.

Maybe the colleges should be closed, too.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I'm guessing that isn't the direction he went. A degree in thermal dynamics is probably more fitting.

Just watch the revisionist historians twist this and imply he was a 'college graduate' at the time he was capped - "Unarmed Trevon Martin, holder of a Bachelors of Science degree, was gunned down by the white hispanic. . . "

How does that compare to projectile vomiting?? Smile

Trayvon was a druggie, a thief, and a violent hoodlum. So mom and dad will honor his memory by accepting a fully bogus token of accomplishment.

And sadly, liberals will swallow that kool-aid.
