George Mason University (GMU) is set to offer a three-credit course on Florida youth Trayvon Martin this fall but in the online description of the course misspelled his name as “Trevon Martin."
The class, officially entitled “Race & Politics, Trevon [sic] Martin” in the course catalogue will be taught by Professor Rutledge Dennis of the Sociology and Anthropology Department.
Martin was shot in February 2012 after an altercation with a neighborhood watch member, George Zimmerman, who is currently the subject of a murder trial.
The trial, being held in Florida, has been racially charged due to questions over Zimmerman’s motivations. Zimmerman stated late Wednesday he would not provide testimony, with the jury set to issue a decision later this month.
Dennis will teach the GMU course in a lecture/seminar style on Wednesdays in two and half hour blocks from 4:30-7:10 in Krug Hall on GMU’s main campus.
Professor Dennis and other GMU representatives did not respond to requests for comment by Campus Reform in time for publication.
“taught by Professor Rutledge Dennis of the Sociology and Anthropology Department.....”
Hopefully his job is secure because I can’t see him qualified for anything in the private sector.
Why is everything a symbol and nothing is just what it is?
Zim vs Martin became a symbol of evil Whitey attacking innocent minority.
It’s exactly the opposite of the reality.
And students will pay for it with college loans. Great investment in their future.

Wow - I had thought, erroneously I guess, that GMU was relatively sane by American university standards. After all, doesn’t Thomas Sowell teach there?
Pity.
If you spell the name correctly, then you don’t have the prerequisite for the course
Oops I was thinking of Walter Williams. I guess that proves I’m racis’.
Baraq Obama is as white as George Zimmerman is.
Any chance you audit the class? You might be able to sell the story to Breitbart.
GOOD JOB!!
That’s what I was thinking, can the ‘professor’ write in script because ‘his’ students can’t read it. I’d like to take the class and let it all out and sue them for denying me a good grade and then charge the students for me educating them. ;) But my time is more valuable than to teach those who are unteachable. I feel uncomfortable even joking when my heart is heavy for Zimmerman.
That my friend is a racist commie.
LLS
If I lived in the area I would sign up for this class.
I don’t care if I got an F-minus, but that Professor and his students would be exposed to an alternate reality. Possibly I would be dragged out of there by the campus police.
Leftist professor trying to make a living out of nothing. If another black teenager had shot Trayvon Martin, you never would have heard about it.
No "possibly" about it
