California teacher slams military members as 'lowest of the low' in classroom rant caught on video

A video in which a Southern California high school teacher is heard slamming members of the military as “the frickin’ lowest of the low” in a classroom rant to students has gone viral.

El Rancho High history teacher Gregory Salcido -- who also serves as an elected Pico Rivera city councilman and was once mayor -- even goes so far as to refer to those who are in the military overseas as failed students who had no choice but to serve, "Fox & Friends" reported Sunday.

“Think about the people you know who are over there,” Salcido is heard saying. “Your freakin' stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They're dumb s - - - s. They're not high-level bankers. They're not academic people. They're not intellectual people."

“They’re the freakin’ lowest of our low.” (trunc)

Unfortunately this teachers views are shared by a large majority here in the Socialist Sactuary State of California.

Time for a serious Campaign to make Mr. Gregory Salcido and anybody of like dementation to go away .... Those of us with family in the Military find this despicable ...

Time to check with your school district to see if the same thing is happening at your child's school.

Where does this guy get off telling a captured group of students his political views. If it were my kid in that class room, he would here from me very loud.

Pico Rivera, where Salcido teaches, suspended him in 2010. They are hispanic but there are many who are pro-military. Here's the latest from the LA Times:

The diatribe appears to have been in reaction to a student wearing a Marines shirt or sweatshirt. "You better not freaking go," Salcido says in one recording. "Don't wear that in here." Salcido, 49, was in New York with his family over the weekend and was scheduled to meet with colleagues and city staff in Washington D.C., to lobby for funds to help repair local dams.

After the news broke, Salcido said he and his wife "deemed it appropriate to head home under the circumstances."

"Because of the many vulgar and violent threats against my family I do not have any comment on the situation at this time," Salcido said in an email to The Times. Pico Rivera Councilman Bob J. Archuleta, who was appointed to West Point's Board of Visitors under President Obama, expressed dismay at the remarks. "I am appalled that someone who is educating our children in the classroom can demean our veterans, our men and women in uniform," said Archuleta, who previously served as a paratrooper and whose two sons graduated from West Point military academy.

That’s our America.

When a half-breed Islamic whack job, armed with an AK-47 and a goal to meet his seven virgins, began opening fire on a train in France, the Americans on board didn’t run to the nearest safe room and hide themselves amid baguettes and brie. They said “let’s go”, and beat the stuffing out of that little nut with a death wish.
Legion d’Honneur or not, that’s us. That’s just how we roll.

Lady Liberty can stroll along the Champs-Elysées with a swagger befitting Mae West because without her arrival they’d be speaking German in the Louvre. Yet for the better part of the past decade a group of intellectual something-or-others have been teaching an insufferable storyline that it’s better to be sitting around a campfire eating sustainable algae cakes and picking parasites off each other.

No government job period.
Also no vote, and no ownership of real estate.

You are absolutely right. I have quite a few anti American hispanics here in my own neighborhood. These anti American’s who came here illegaly do not hide their views on this country and look down on people like me who are 1st gen American and who served this great nation with pride.

What has Salcido ever done for America? Not a damn thing! Another freeloader. He needs to move to North Korea where he’d be more appreciated for his sicko views and opinions.

In his view, you could not become a teacher until you had completed a (rather lengthy) tour of combat or served 10 years.

Actually, you could go into civil service in his universe without serving in the military. You just couldn’t vote or hold the protected jobs. See Starship Troopers (the book) for more details.

At the end he talks about 9/11 but the video ends before his point is made.

I heard about this, people like this belong to be locked in public stocks for about a week. Stripped naked and exposed to The Tender Mercies of the General Public

Or just a teacher. A city councilman too.

I know. I’ve read the book several times. But, we don’t have a never-ending war against the bugs and our enlistments aren’t as long as they were in ST. So, for practical purposes in the USA, I propose the minimum age restriction.

“those students that are not going to be the bankers and the leaders of society”

And this teacher... does he understand that HE isn’t a banker or leader of society? He’s a frickin’ public school teacher. And a bad one, to boot.

"Service guarantees citizenship".

We need more than birth to earn the right to participate.

Self-governance requires intellect, education and wisdom.

A very large number of movie actors back in the old days served in WWII.

Thanks for your service fellow bubblehead. Are you old enough to have gone through Bainbridge? I was there in 1965; YN “B” school. Drank a few beers with your fellows in Port Deposit.

I see the same posts here five and ten times! Sometimes it does get old. I guess that’s the penalty for coming here every day, several times a day.
