Liberal academia on display

Quote:Three videos on social media of Pico Rivera Councilman Gregory Salcido, a teacher at El Rancho High School, making disparaging remarks about the military and berating a student for wearing a sweatshirt with a Marines logo have gone viral and created a backlash.

El Rancho Unified School District officials confirmed Saturday. Jan. 27 that the person speaking is Salcido and that the incident took place on school grounds.

“We acknowledge it is his voice based on the research of the incident so far and knowing it came from one of our classrooms,” district Superintendent Karling Aguilera-Fort said in a phone interview.

A post on Facebook with the three videos was shared more than 23,500 times as of 10 a.m. Saturday. It had nearly 1.5 million views.

Aguilera-Fort said he was alerted on Friday evening to the video where Salcido is heard saying, “They’re the frickin’ lowest of the low,” in reference to military members.

“We have reached out to Mr. Salcido but have not been able to talk to him because he is out of town,” Aguilera-Fort said.

He and Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Mark Matthews are conducting an investigation.

“We cannot expose the disciplinary measures because it is a personnel matter, but there will be disciplinary measures taken,” Aguilera-Fort said.

District officials have not identified the student who made the recording.

“That’s not our priority right now,” he said. “Our first priority is to assure the community that what was said does not reflect the values of the El Rancho community and the El Rancho board.”

Phone calls to Salcido and to Pico Rivera City Manager Rene Bobadilla were not returned.

Salcido did post a statement on Friday to his personal Facebook page, which said, “I don’t think it’s wise for me to make any comments, but I want my friends, family, and students to know we are fine and we respect the rights of free expression for all individuals.”

It was time stamped at 9:41 p.m., New York.

The videos were first posted by Kimberlie Flauto, of Connecticut, who identified herself as a friend of one of the student’s parents. Flauto asked her followers to share and make the videos go viral.

The student, a 17-year-old senior who said he wished to remain anonymous because he doesn’t want any repercussions from friends who support Salcido, said he had no intention of the video being seen by anyone else and is surprised by all the attention.

“It wasn’t meant for anyone else, but my mom shared it with a few friends and now it’s this,” he said in a phone interview Saturday.

He said he made the recording on Jan. 19 during a U.S. history class taught by Salcido.

The young man, whose father and two uncles are Marine veterans who fought in Afghanistan, Desert Storm and Vietnam, said Salcido went too far when he said those in the military were stupid and only joined as a last resort.

“It was so disrespectful to my dad and my uncles and all veterans and those still in the military,” he said.

With students laughing in the background, Salcido is heard profanely questioning military members’ intelligence and continuing, “They’re not high-level thinkers.”

Hope this a-hole gets fired

Smart. Nothing like pissing off the most proficient soldiers in the history of the world.

Yet another democrat that hates America

They're all like this. Think about it, military members overwhelmingly vote republican, and are conservative. How do the democrats view conservative republicans? They learned from Vietnam and are better at hiding their true proclivities. Sometimes they slip-up though. This appears to be one of those times.

Well, as a veteran I guess that guy has a right to his opinion. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand that what he said was because there were men and women who were brave enough to fight for his right to say that. Do I agree with it? Of course not. If he thinks that people in the military are stupid then he's the stupid one. Snowflakes like him probably have a hard time changing a tire without help, you know, like those millennials in those car insurance commercials. If a person was stupid they wouldn't be fixing every type of military equipment that is in the US inventory, or graduating from our prestigious military academies that rival those in Ivy Leagues.

I actually pity the fool, in Mr. T's words.

He is entitled to his opinion, but the forum over which he resides is not the place for that opinion to be aired. He crossed the line, and I hope he no longer can try to influence the political opinions of those kids that have to be in his classes. With power comes responsibility, and he demonstrated that he cannot be trusted with that power.

Keep it up, alt-left.

Yes, you're right and to that end comes the old saying, "everything you do has consequences" and he may suffer for his stupidity, something he criticizes the military of.

Student Getting Death Threats After Recording CA Teacher’s Anti-Military Rant

Unbelievable. He does the right thing, but leftists come to the defense of this ridiculous ‘teacher.’ The left is always wishing someone death or threatening to kill them. There is no more hate filled group than America's left.

Quote:A California high school student who recorded his teacher bashing the U.S. military spoke out Thursday on “Fox & Friends.”

Victor Quinonez, who aspires to join the U.S. Marine Corps, used his cell phone to capture his teacher, Gregory Salcido, slamming service members as the “the lowest of our low.”

Salcido, who also serves as a city councilman, ranted to students about why they should not join the military.

“Think about the people who you know who are over there. Your freaking stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumbs‑‑‑s. They’re not like high-level thinkers, they’re not academic people, they’re not intellectual people. They’re the lowest of our low,” he said.

Quinonez, a high school senior, recounted how the events unfolded, explaining that Salcido took offense to him and one of his classmates wearing Marines shirts.

‘He was like, ‘really? You too?'” Quinonez said.

He said Salcido then made him explain in front of the whole class why he wanted to join the military. Quinonez told him it was a proud family tradition that he intends to carry on.

“He told me, ‘if it was a family tradition to beat women would you continue it?'” Quinonez recalled.

Perfect punishment.

For this jacka$$ and other liberals like him who yearn for a socialist USA, I guess he hasn’t realized that to achieve that, they’ll have to go thru an armed citizenry and a great many of the military

Yes. He shouldn't be teaching at that school district anymore.

If he had said it on his own time, there shouldn't be any repercussions, but this was a classroom.

Replace military with illegal aliens and just imagine the reaction.

Quote: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."

He was also bigoted towards Vietnamese and factually inaccurate about why the Russians got to Berlin first.

Not such a great teacher.

And the public school "educators" wonder why more and more people want to send their kids to private schools or home school......

I didn't know Fitbutt moved to California. Imagine that.
