I wrote about this droolstain a while back.
A history teacher and elected city councilman in California (where else) went on a SICKENING rant about how members of our military aren’t bright or educated… in fact, they are the “lowest of the low.”
So according to this guy, if you’re in the military it’s because your parents didn’t love you, and you’re a “dumbsh**.” Classy.
As I’ve mentioned many times, my boyfriend is a veteran. He served as a staff sergeant in the Army. In what I’m sure may be a SHOCKING bit of news to this high school history teacher, he has a masters degree, a law degree, and an advanced law degree. Many of his closest friends are also veterans. If you sat them all in a room with this scumlord, I have a feeling he’d soon realize who the “not so bright” one is…as these guys are legitimately some of the most educated, insightful, stand-up people I know.
Actually… maybe he wouldn’t. Stupid people seldom realize how stupid they are.
Anyway… he’s finally facing some real consequences… and it’s not a minute too soon.
According to Fox News:
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.

I’m SUUUUURE some of the California students and parents will make a fuss out of this.
“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.”
HAHAHHAAHA. Because that little rant REALLY exemplifies the thoughts and behavior of a “high level thinker” …am I right?
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.”
“I don’t think it’s all a revelation to anybody that those who aren’t stellar students usually find the military a better option. … That’s not a criticism of anybody. Anything I said had nothing to do with their moral character,” he said, the paper reported.
During a break, he told reporters that he believes the military is the not the “best option” for his students, but added “that does not mean I’m anti-military, because I’m not.”
Yeah. Great “apology,” you kumquat. Maybe instead they can be like your pathetic a$$, right? Great role model, you are.
The student who secretly recorded Salcido — later identified by KTLA-TV as Victor Quinonez — told Fox News opinion writer Todd Starnes in January that his teacher had “a history of being anti-military.”
“Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but at the same time they shouldn’t be disrespecting the veterans who have fought for our rights, who give up their lives and do stuff that other people are not willing to do,” Quinonez, who says he wants to be a Marine, told Fox News.
Even White House Chief of Staff John Kelly had a reaction to this….
The rant even prompted a strong reaction from White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, who said Salcido “ought to go to hell.”
“I just hope he enjoys the liberties and the lifestyle that we have fought for,” Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade.
Surely this imbecile thinks he’s smarter than Kelly too, right?
