(BlackMediaScoop) A California history teacher has stirred up controversy by posing for a yearbook photo as Trayvon Martin.

Spencer Smith, a teacher at Brentwood’s Heritage High School, dressed up as the slain Florida teen for the snap.

He donned a pulled-down hoodie and held a bag of Skittles candy in his left hand to make the political statement. It’s unclear exactly why Smith decided to pose as the tragic teenager gunned down by neighborhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman in 2012.

But reactions to his picture have been mixed. Alfreda Charway, the high school’s Black Student Union President, said it was “a good idea because he’s expressing himself.” “Because that’s the whole point of yearbook pictures, you’re supposed to express yourself,” Charway said. Sophomore Amber McKim thought it was “ok that he did it, just not in the yearbook.” Parents, however, thought it was “inappropriate.”

What do you think…good look or hell nah?
