Read the spin on this NPR AgitProp!
NPR's Linda Lutton spins like a break-dancer on a wet floor - Rito Martinez was fired - just like the many, many, many city employees caught living in Greener Pastures than the Mean Streets they contracted to serve. Righto Rito, Morgan Park is as nice as Oak Park, though fewer gents sport soul-patches and chin whiskers. Yours, Rito, is a particularly spanking combination, Bye The Bye!
Nope. Rito got fired for being a sneak and a breaker of oaths. However to the Comrades of NPR - Rito is Gay Friendly and Lefty-Righteous! Now he is Benito Juarez? No way Jose-ita! Rito's a Sneak. Rito got caught. Rito got Launched.
NPR gushes this:
A popular principal who helped lead the fight for a gay-friendly high school in Chicago is leaving the district.
Rito Martinez has been principal of Social Justice High School in Little Village since it opened in 2005. Martinez told students at an assembly yesterday that he chose to live in Oak Park so he could get better access to services for a son who has Down’s syndrome. But that violates residency rules that require most CPS employees to live within the city limits.
Senior Channing Redditt said students at the tight-knit school responded with a mix of anger and sadness to the news.
REDDITT: Many students were asking, “Can we fight this? What can we do to stop this from happening?”
Social Justice High School will be honored next week as a model for getting youth to participate in local civics. Martinez was named a Golden Apple Teacher in 2002. This fall he co-led a fight to start a gay-friendly high school, though the effort fizzled out.
A CPS spokeswoman said Martinez has already resigned and will leave the school in June. She said the situation is a stark reminder that policies must be followed.
Are you kidding me?!!!! 'Officer the Speed Limit says that My driving at 85 MPH is a violation! Basta YA! Venceremos!'
Hell. I'm gay friendly! Friendly with Gays! ' Hey, Cyril, great Hibiscus you got goin' there! Andy find work yet?' Sure, I am. Honor bright! I pick up Gay Bill from the Antique Shop ( as Opposed to Crabby Bill the Banker for City National) when he takes the Rock Island ( Metra)in to 107th all the time. 'Bill, Hop In - It's colder than a well-digger's ass out there!' Does that mean that now, I can speed on Longwood Drive, when school lets out? I'm Gay Friendly!
That's just being a gentleman - it ain't political.
TS, Rito!
What is good for the Geese should be good for the Propaganda!

Uncle Pat,
This man lost his job, as he should have, because he violated a city ordinance.
You're right to point out that him being a fag has nothing to do with his resignation.
However, calling him a "sneak" and "breaker of oaths" because he moved to an area to gain access to better care for his down syndrome child is a little over the top.
If this was somebody you knew, say somebody from Leo or the Beverly, you'd be saying "how dare they do this to such a stand up guy!"
Should I shave my soul patch before the parade?
Hope your doing well.
Hardly Barty.
I do not say anywhere that ex-Principal Rito is a 'Fag.' nor imply that it is his inclination - in fact, He stated that he moved out of the City - Breaking his Oath and Contract - due to his son - which I can only assume to mean his biological son and off-spring.
Where I part company with this gent is his hiding behind Advocacy Politics - as a 'Gay Friendly School Advocate' and my direction of ire is leveled at his being championed by NPR - a tax-payer funded entity with a strongly if not totally unfair Leftist agenda.
My tribalism is not limited to Beverly or Leo - we have fired people who violated contracts at Leo and I have worked for Bishop McNamara, LaLumiere, and Bishop Noll and lived in Gresham neighborhood, Kankakee, Bradley and Bourbonnais, IL as well as LaPorte, IN, and Griffith, In long before Morgan Park. I never lived in Beverlly to be precise.
As to your sporting a soul-patch - Every Girl Crazy 'Bout Sharp Dressed Man.
