Derrick McLaughlin, the 41-year-old principal of Dawson Elementary School in Riverview, Florida, was arrested on Thursday after engaging in sexually explicit testing with who he believed to be a 15-year-old boy, reports the Post Millennial. Luckily, it was actually an undercover police officer.

The sting operation occurred from January 19 to January 20, 2022, says the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, with the purpose of “identify[ing] individuals attempting to exploit children.”

McLaughlin initiated the conversation with the undercover officer and attempted to entice who he believed to be a young boy to engage in sexual acts. He’s been charged with “Transmission of Harmful Material to a Minor, Unlawful Use of a Two-Way Communications Device, and Use of Computer Services or Devices to Solicit Certain Illegal Acts.”

Let’s hope this deviant is locked away for a long time, preferably in a frozen prison.

Of course, deviants in our public schools are nothing new. And often they aren’t just targeting a single child like this pervert. In Florida, a member of the school board took elementary students to a gay bar for a field trip, and a teacher in Minnesota has been detailing her sex life—which is not what one would call traditional—to her students for some time.

These obviously aren’t a majority of teachers—at least, I sure as hell hope not—but one must wonder how many of these perverts are still roaming the hallways.
