close Teacher's scathing anti-military classroom rant goes viral

A Southern California teacher who was recorded bashing the U.S. military in a profane classroom rant was fired Tuesday evening.

Board of Education President Aurora Villon said the El Rancho Unified School District reached a unanimous decision to fire Gregory Salcido, a history teacher at El Rancho High School and elected Pico Rivera city councilman, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“His comments do not reflect what we stand for, who we are,” Villon said, adding that “the classroom should never be a place where students feel that they are picked at, bullied, intimidated."

Salcido faced a severe backlash after a student secretly recorded him asking his government class why they would want to serve in the military, calling those who serve “dumbs‑‑‑s.”

“Think about the people who you know who are over there. Your freaking stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumbs‑‑‑s,” Salcido can be heard saying in the Jan. 25 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 thousands of emails flooded the school board, as veterans and relatives of military personnel from all over the world voiced their disgust with Salcido’s comments.

Salcido apologized at a City Council meeting in February, the paper reported, and attempted to clarify that his comments “had nothing to do with their moral character.”

And the only reason these AH’s at this school district waited so long to terminate this leftist, was because they didn’t want to piss off their leftist associates with an fast termination. They wanted to story to cool down.. Fact is there was little to investigate since it was documented with audio/video evidence.

They were hoping this would just slip by in the conga line of news.

He does realize that if you go in the military you spend a great deal of your time in school?

That all officers have their degree and so do most NCOs?

That it is not unusual for them to retire with a Masters of PhD?

I find it strange so many liberals praise Mueller as a “patriot marine”. I though liberals hated the military.

The profanity alone should have been enough to get him canned.

“...My gut tells me that he’s like a Chihuahua...”

Ha! That’s an insult to Chihuahuas.... at least a Chihuahua is WORTH something, is loyal, and man’s best friend.

This assclown “teacher”... is more like amoebic dysentery on a hot summer day, with no TP.

And should be treated as such.

The problem is, f*cktards like that “teacher” are brainwashing our kids 5 days a week, 6-7 hours a day.

Stopping that is the real key.

That will ONLY happen when WE start throwing the damned Teacher’s Unions OUT of OUR schools.
