Military-bashing California teacher pulled from classroom, city council duties pending investigation
Fox News ^ | January 30, 2018 | Robert Gearty

The Southern California teacher facing a firestorm after he was recorded by a student bashing the military in a profane classroom rant has been placed on administrative leave and removed from all assignments he'd be given as a city councilman.

Gregory Salcido, the El Rancho High School teacher and elected Pico Rivera city councilman, will not be able to enter the classroom while school officials conduct an investigation into the recording, the Whittier Daily News reported late Monday.

“One thing we are telling people for sure is that the commitment of the board and the superintendent and the staff is to really get to the bottom of this for the community,” School Superintendent Karling Aguilera-Fort told the paper.

Another teacher has taken over his history and government classes for the foreseeable future, he said.

Salcido, 49, told the paper he is not granting interviews at this time.

Mrs. jaz went to El Rancho High her freshman year many years ago.

We talked about this yesterday and she said if this had happened then he’d probably been gone by the next day.

In that environment the poor kid now has a target on his back. I guarantee you that a very large majority of the teachers at that school agree with the POS who was recorded.

Next he’ll be whining that he’s “getting death threats from right-wing crazies.”

Nope. You got it all wrong. The enemy here is the student who recorded it. The only reason they’re ‘investigating’ the teacher is because of all the public blowback and bad PR.

The classroom is supposed to be a private sanctum of indoctrination. Outsiders aren’t supposed to see the processes about which young brains get worked

Since people in the military are stupid and/or have no talent, I think he should be strapped in to an old fighter jet with the ejection seat disabled and launched from an aircraft carrier. If he successfully flies it to the nearest air base and successfully lands it then he'll be free to go...

Yes, many of those pilots flying or maintaining the commercial jets he flies on learned to fly or become aircraft mechanics in the military. He is probably not so scared of their stupidity and lack of talent that he refuses to fly commercial.

Well, he didn't seem to have any problem running his mouth off to the students disparaging the military, now did he?

I hope he is fired from the school and removed from his city council seat.

Just desserts is the only justice for this scumbag.

Emotionally unfit for classroom duty.
A boy in a man’s costume, like 99% of democrats today.
Can’t keep differences of opinions in check when teaching.
A message to teachers:
STFU about your personal opinions and teach the course.
I don’t give two flying turds what you think of Obama, Trump, Bush or Hitler.
I’m lucky, my kids have mostly all had level-headed public teachers who don’t go off about their own opinions, they act like adults. Shockingly I live in the midwest.

I’ve posted this before but he reminds me of the CFO of a company who harangued a Chic Fil A employee about the owner supporting traditional marriage. The CFO recoded his diatribe against the young lady and posted it on the internet. The CFO lost his $200,000/year job, his million dollar stock option and his home. He lived in an RV on food stamps. Last I heard he still couldn’t find a job. Mr Salcido is entering the same sh*t storm.

I watched a piece on the Chik Fil A guy and he seemed to end up better after being humbled by the experience. The young lady he ranted to was very forgiving and gracious. We need more of this, instead of everyone digging in their heels for WAR at every upset.

You're exactly right.

From the article:

...while school officials conduct an investigation into the recording

Thanks jazusamo.
“One thing we are telling people for sure is that the commitment of the board and the superintendent and the staff is to really get to the bottom of this for the community,” School Superintendent Karling Aguilera-Fort told the paper...

IOW, wait for this to blow over, the fake investigation will find no wrongdoing, and he'll be back on the job, pushing agitprop as if it were education.
