A teacher in Southern California was gored Tuesday following his negative in-class tirade about the military, FoxNews reports.

The El Rancho Unified school district board voted unanimously to fire Gregory Salcido, who taught history at a local high school, on Tuesday.

Board of Education President Aurora Villon made the following statement regarding the teacher’s rant:

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

A student secretly recorded Salcido when the outburst occurred in January. His comments are as follows:

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

Salcido later tried to apologize when interviewed in front of the school board, saying:

“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…”

What a disgusting and vile way to portray the men and women who protect this country every single day with their efforts, fortunes, and often their lives. It is a sad day when the indoctrination of our children has reached this level, however, we can stand affirmed in the fact that the school board took action and stood up for our military.
