Teacher that trashed all military members issues response to backlash; under investigation

Gregory Salcido is facing severe backlash for his disparaging comments on the military.

The teacher’s comments stemmed from seeing a student wearing a Marines sweatshirt in class. A student in the classroom recorded the teacher’s rant on their phone and the video has now reached more than 6.7 million views.
