I can just imagine a bunch of hoodie wearing, skittles chomping, Arizona tea drinking Obama sons wandering around.

Oh wait

Chicago.

If they were gonna declare a day for a dead teen, they should choose someone like Hadiya Pendleton. I think everyone would have supported it.

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?
For my enlightenment, what exactly is so great about Trayvon Martin that he deserves to be thus honored?

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?

The school wants students to do drugs, beat people up, vandalize the school, and steal stuff? No wonder Pittsburgh has a 52% graduation rate.

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