Among a growing number of circles, respect for the armed forces is reaching an all-time low. Sadly, one of the areas where respect for the military is waning the most is also the one responsible for teaching new generations of American citizens – academia.
Recently, one student was able to record one of his teachers going off on a sickening anti-military rant in which the teacher referred to members of the military as the “lowest of the low” and said that “they’re not intellectual people”. Though the student at first only intended to show the recording to his dad – who was a member of the Marine Corpse – the video ended up going viral. After the video went viral, the teacher was fired by the school.
Any anti-military rant as visceral and uninformed as the one shown in this recording is enough to make any true American’s blood boil, but it’s even worse coming from a teacher who is speaking to dozens of impressionable students. Until something is done to prevent teachers from using their classroom to espouse their political viewpoints, incidents such as this will likely continue to take place. Thanks to the fast action of the student, though, at least this one teacher must now face the consequences of his words.
To hear the teacher’s full anti-military rant as well as an interview with the student who recorded it, be sure to check out the video below.
