This is one for the history books.

California high school teacher was recorded last week
bad mouthing military personnel simply because a student was wearing
a sweatshirt with the Marine Corps logo on it.

Among other comments, the history teacher,Â* Gregory SalcidoÂ* (who is
also a city council member) is heard saying on the recording:

"... they don't have electricity, we all have night freaking vision
Â*Â*googles and that kinda stuff, and we can't freaking control these
Â*Â*dudes wearing freaking robes and chanclas (hahaha) because we have a
Â*Â*bunch dumb (expletive) over there ..."

Other comments heard on the recording include calling people in the
military "the lowest of the low".Â* He accused them of joining the
military because they had no other options, that their parents didn't
love them enough to push them to a better education and job.

In any other state in the nation I doubt this teacher would have any
options for employment in the future.Â* What an asshole.

He's entitled to his opinions, but those sorts of opinions shouldn't be
expressed inÂ* K-12 classroom. On the other hand, you express no serious
displeasure when your Donald Trump expresses horrific, hateful opinions
about people.


His "opinions" are very similar to those you have expressed here many
times but I don't think you would preach them in a high school. Donald
Trump isn't a high school teacher either. I am sure this means nothing
to you but if you go back and look at the tweets or comments by Trump,
they are always in response to some critical comment made about him by
the left or a left leaning media or print source. It's his combative
personality. Other presidents have demonstrated similar tendencies but
the age of social media (Tweeter) has made it too easy and too fast to
keep under control.

Going back to the high school teacher:

I think an appropriate resolution to his inappropriate statements would
be to require him to deliver them again, word for word, at the Marine
Corps Training Center in San Diego. Let him speak and then let the
Marines express *their* entitled opinion.
