City Council Eliminates Teacher Who Called Military Lowest Of Our Low

The anti-military rant was captured on video.


Pico Rivera, CA – The California public school teacher, whose anti-military comments were captured on video in the classroom, was fired on Wednesday.

School Board President Aurora Villon said the El Rancho Unified School District voted unanimously on March 20 to terminate Gregory Salcido, after the history teacher called people who serve in the military “dumbs**ts” during a classroom rant, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“Think about the people who you know who are over there. Your freaking stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumbs**ts,” Salcido in the January tirade. “They’re not like high-level thinkers, they’re not academic people, they’re not intellectual people. They’re the lowest of our low.”

Villon said that Salcido’s comments did not reflect what the school district stood for or who they are. She said the classroom should never be a place where students felt bullied or intimidated or picked on by a teacher.

The school board received thousands of emails about Salcido’s comments, according to Villon.

Many veterans, and relatives of veterans, emailed the district from around the world to voice their displeasure, she said.

They did it. I didn’t think the School Board had the resolve to keep the pressure going. Good.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

If he hates our military and our country that much, send him back to where he came from.

He was just reciting what a very large number of educators and leftists believe to be true. I'm sure he still believes it. His college professors beat it into his head as progressive doctrine. Half the council who voted to fire him believe it too, but they won't say it publicly.

Those who serve are so distant, so alien to these people, they have absolutely no clue who they are beyond what their progressive idols told them.

Misleading headline — The city council didn’t remove him as a teacher; the school board did. Now, if only the city council would remove him from the council, justice will be served.

Perhaps not?

My son did his student teaching in some of the top high schools of Illinois, Hinsdale, Glenbard, Glenbrook...
He also did some time at East Aurora Il. Surprisingly he said that about ONE-THIRD of the school is enrolled in the JROTC program, the school is about 90% Hispanic.

Being a former a USMC Infantrymen (3x sandbox), he liked it.
And they called him ‘SIR’.

The city council may have removed him, but watch the Governor get him reinstated.

The school board dumped his disrespectful carcass, the city council hasn’t acted upon his foolishness from what I’ve read.

What an ungrateful, unbalanced IDIOT. Would you want this hater standing in front of your kid’s class? Probably belongs to LaRaza.
