KHOU swings and misses on Chavez baseball coach story
Last night KHOU-11 ran a story about a Chavez High School JV baseball coach who was fired for making copies of a student flier and passing them out to students. Except that the coach wasn't actually fired. He was removed as a coach, but he's still an ESL teacher at Chavez. The principal made the decision to relieve Coach Rudy Rios of his duties based on the fact that Rios used taxpayer-funded equipment to copy a flier, then pass it out to students.
KHOU's story didn't include what the flier said, but we'll reproduce it in the "Read More" section, since it contains a bit of foul language. It also contains enough grammatical errors to give bH's copy editor a case of the vapors.
When you read what the fliers actually said, you can decide for yourself if the Chavez principal was justified in removing Rios from his coaching position. And shame on KHOU for getting the story so wrong.
UPDATE (04-05-2006): Here's Jennifer Radcliffe's story in the Chronicle.
