Why not pick someone like Malala Yousafzai? She's an inspiration and someone the school should want their kids to emulate.

Not gangsta enough. However the Hijab she wears might get a pass for the hoodie requirement.

What accomplishments benefitting society did he make, what heroic actions did he perform that benefitted society as a whole?

Other than being Obamas surrogate like son, what is so special about him and his life?

Your post deserves a repost Arjay.

Another good choice.

Lotsa good choices, and those low IQ failing students chose Trayvon! I'll bet if they really tried hard, they could even come up with someone from Pittsburgh who deserves the honor. Or not.

lolol

Hey champ, the students don't have enough information to make such a choice from an intellectual platform.

BTW, as usual you ignored the questions presented. Nice.

I wonder if the students had a "defend you constitutional rights" theme would that be nixed? Say a 2ndA theme, would that be right to nix?

You're comparing an honorary commemoration of a 17 year old thug who assaulted another man to an honorary commemoration of our Constitution?

Wow, aren't you the mesmerizing figure with superior logical reasoning skills! We should all follow your lead!!!!!

No confusion. You compare the wisdom of someone honoring our Constitution to that of someone honoring a 17 year old thug who took a bullet for assaulting a man.

Such an assertion deserves to be mocked and called out. And that's what I did.
