‘Trayvon Martin Day’ at Malcolm X Elementary in D.C.

[Glockster69]

Never waste a good crisis.

I'm not sure which is most disturbing:
The schools name
The honoree, or
The quote pulled from the article

The message that if someone hits you, hit them back — it does more harm and does more hurt than good,” J. Harrison Coleman said. “My hope is that the takeaway is that we stop some of the needless violence that is going on in the community.

All it is is attention whoring LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT ME!!!! I'M IMPORTANT DAMNIT LOOK AT ME!!!

I've never been to that school or even DC.

I'd bet money I don't have it is nothing about 'look at me' and all about a mindset prevalent in the N.E. where poverty pimps abound.

Trayvon Martin day, huh...

What are they gonna teach them? Not to do dope, get kicked out of school, and skulk around inbetween houses in the middle of the night?

The exact opposite so the higher ups have more opportunity to make money off some students death.

They should, because most of those kids would benefit greatly from those lessons. Instead I'm sure they'll be taught that Martin is a victim and everyone is a racist.

Hmmm...so all the students are going to smoke some green and then go on a Skittles run...and case some houses while taking the long long long way back?

Too soon?
