An eighth grade charter school teacher in Michigan has been fired from her job after helping her students organize a fundraiser for Trayvon Martin’s parents. Brooke Harris and her students drew up a plan that would see them donate one dollar each and wear a hoodie, as Martin had worn when he was shot dead. Harris was initially suspended and then later fired outright after visiting an after-school literacy fair to support her students’ fundraiser.
