Viral trends can sometimes be charming and funny, ŕ la planking, Tebowing, milking, Orring and even Bradying. But the latest internet craze, no matter how disturbing, is Trayvoning in which those who dementedly choose to participate reenact 17-year old Trayvon Martin’s physical position after being shot to death by George Zimmerman.

Acquitted recently and controversially of second-degree murder, George Zimmerman claims to have acted in self-defense in Martin’s untimely death. The case gained nationwide notoriety due to its racially-sensitive nature, and the young African-American teen’s body was found stomach-down with a can of Arizona Ice Tea in one hand and a bag of skittles in the other, the premise for the viral movement.

How people can be so insensitive to those deeply affected by Trayvon’s death is beyond me. It’s one thing to protest the Zimmerman trial verdict in the name of justice, civil rights, and upholding the U.S. Constitution, all of which those against Zimmerman feel were violated on Trayvon’s behalf, but emulating a dead teenager, one at the center of a case that captivated the entire country, is simply wrong.

James Shelby, President of the Greater Sacramento Urban League offered up a simple solution to curtail the trend and the answer is in education.

“We need more conversations in homes about how we can all get along better. In turn, our kids are educated in things we shouldn’t do,” Shelby said to Sacramento’s Fox 40.
