California Teacher At War With Marines

Share this article

A California teacher who tried to show why he is among the best and the brightest may have proven instead that he is one of the first of the worst. “We’ve got a bunch of dumbsh—s over there,” Councilman Gregory Salcido, a teacher at El Rancho High School, said. “Think about the people who you know who are over there — your freaking stupid Uncle Louie or whatever — they’re dumbs—ts.”

“They’re not like high-level thinkers, they’re not academic people, they’re not intellectual people; they’re the freaking lowest of our low.” Unfortunately for this high-level thinker, he was caught on tape.

As Jessica Chasmar from The Washington Times relates the story, what set him off was the sight of a Marine Corps t-shirt on one of his students.
