In April, Rudy Rios, the junior varsity coach at Chavez High School in Houston, was fired from that job after the principal learned that he encouraged students to skip school to attend protests over U.S. immigration policy. Reportedly, Rios was not fired, however, from his other Chavez High job, which is as teacher of English as a foreign language, even though Rios wrote, on an immigration-protest flier: "We gots 2 stay together and protest against the new law that wants 2 be passed against all immigrants. We gots 2 show the U.S. that they ain't ($#!^) with out (sic) us."
Nice... That's nice... Not only a fine example of leadership to the youth of this nation (legal or otherwise) but also of the use of linguistics. Even more ridiculous, punish the dude by not letting him coach sports, but leave him in a position of influence in one of the largest cities in the country?
He seems to fit in well with the "No illegals = no burritos" crowd...
