Teacher Calls The U.S Military 'The Lowest Of The Low' In A Classroom Rant That Has Made A Lot Of People Upset

L.A. Times: Pico Rivera teacher's remarks about military spark backlash

A Pico Rivera teacher and councilman is under investigation by the school board after the release of recordings in which he disparaged members of the military.
