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. Florida Memorial's Department of Aviation and Safety has a designated Cessna pilot training center, and the school also houses the Trayvon Martin Foundation.
"Trayvon had an obvious love of flying," university spokeswoman April R. Silver told CNN. Martin took some aviation classes in high school.
On her Twitter page Fulton thanked the university for honoring her son.
Martin was shot and killed in February 2012, by Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Florida. Zimmerman had called 911 to report a suspicious person in his neighborhood and later got into a fight with the 17-year-old. Zimmerman said he shot Martin in self-defense.
The shooting sparked protests nationwide for months. Zimmerman was acquitted of the crime in July 2013.

Only if they were black or transgender

Oh FFS.
David Suzuki has a load of honourâry degrees. Maybe like 20.
-
They're about 5 years to late.
Why don't they start a TM scholarship, or waive his mothers college debt/pay for more schooling for her in his honor. That would be a real contribution.
-
Why are you folks upset over this for. He's dead for crying out loud. Does it really make a difference if he gets a posthumous degree???? Geez, find something better to bitch about.....

Why not a degree in ballistics?

What a career at United Airlines he could of had. Leaving the cockpit to beat on some gook Dr. or some spic with a jewish name. He could have been one the best.

Not a shock that you are flippant regarding the awarding of letters, given your worthless / bogus educational achievements.

Well deserved. Looking forward to him also receiving an posthumous doctorate in chemical engineering followed by his canonization.

Ironically most living getbiggers are too fucking dumb to earn a bachelor's degree.

Its no different than leaving flowers at a grave. Besides, I'm more concerned with that idiot Zimmerman walking the streets

So why did they give him one?... because he was thug that got shot? Why stop there?... let's give every sub 80 IQ thug who gets shot/killed a posthumous degree.
Political correctness is running amok in the US and it's only getting worse.

Actually, it does. Degrees are earned.
In fact, MIT and the University of Virginia do not give out any degrees. They believe degrees should be earned. They don't give out honorary degrees or any other type of degrees unless the person completed ALL requirements. MIT believes degrees should be earned, not given.
Its a slap in the face to people who work hard for their degrees.
-
It's a win for scientists everywhere.

The future of science is in good hands with Trayvon and the Muslim bomb clock maker kid at the helm.

Trayvon was on the cusp of great things
i think some sort of statue should be erected in his memory
didnt obama say he could have been his son
probably a future president
the world lost a great leader the day trayvon died
-

Then why give it to him???
It sends a message to all other Thuggites out there, as well as to those that worked hard for their degrees and earned them.

Beside raising statues of him in LA, New York, Dallas, Jerusalem and Miami,
Remove the Mount Rushmore-faces and replace all of them with Trayvon.
Put Trayvons face on all bills in all currency as well.
Celebrate a T-Tray-Day, nay, a month even, dedicated to Travoné.
Make it known that Ramadan is a celebration to Tray Tray and nothing else.
Religion of Skittles

As a gesture of goodwill. There's no telling how Trayvon's life would have been if not for George Zimmerman stalking and killing him for incorrectly assuming that he was breaking into homes. BTW, what made him a thug??? He broke no laws and had no criminal record. Meanwhile, George had a hilarious assortment of them. Amazed still that he's not sitting in a prison cell.
It doesn't send a message to anyone. You can leave flowers at a grave but the person 6 feet under will never get to smell them

Message to everyone alive.
That it's ok to be a thug and brutalize a mexican and then get a degree for it. :D

He was fighting for his life seeing as how that mexican chased him down and tried to capture him. He had no authority whatsoever to do so. He was told by law enforcement numerous times to quit following him and he ignored them.
He was only walking home from the store. Of all of the other bullshit cases, this was the real McCoy. You should review the case and see it for what it is

LOL - I think we can say with a fair degree of certainty how AshTrayvon life would have ended up one way or another.

Tray Tray surely would not grow up to become a Goodrum, but more like an Eazy-E.

Trayvon had a mouth full of fake gold, posing in pics w guns, smoking weed, etc. For real - where was this going? Prison or the cemetery sooner or later. Zimm just made it happen sooner than later.

Definitely not in the way of the Degree of Aeronautical Science.

Trayvon was going to be the next B2 Bomber pilot or Wright Brothers in his quest for flying the big sky.
This is so comical

Prosecution was an idiot for charging him with 2nd degree murder. Involuntary manslaughter from the get go would have been a slam dunk
-
Someone needs to apply to NASA on his behalf.
-
Maybe Trayvon would have been the first man to step foot on Mars but for Zimm

Unbelievable!

One more thing,Zimmerman will die by the sword..........I said it first.

Well aren't you just the arm chair lawyer. Good thing for Zimmerman you weren't the prosecutor!
