A California Teacher of the Year finalist has been arrested for trying to pay for sexual acts with an undercover cop posing as a 13-year-old boy.

Ruben Guzman, an assistant principal and math teacher at Sunrise Middle School in San Jose, was snared when he organized for them to meet up last week.

The 31-year-old, who was also recognized by the San Francisco 49ers for his work in the classroom, was cuffed by San Jose police and the FBI on the scene.

It came as part of a wider bust that saw 10 others across the region caught over alleged child exploitation crimes on the internet.

Guzman’s arrest shocked the school district, with principal Teresa Robinson saying there were no signs at work of his alleged crimes.

She told ABC7: “While this is deeply upsetting, it does not reflect who we are as a school. He was a highly regarded teacher and administrator.

“Again, there was nothing in his work record or his prior work record, said other schools to indicate anything had any problems with his work.”

Well, in all fairness, in California that guy would qualify as teacher of the year.

How are these uneducated people employed to educate America’s children? They can’t even communicate coherently.

[Psalm 73]

"Teacher of the Year" is mainly a political/teacher's union thing.

Has very little to do with quality teachers that love their jobs, (despite the growing weight of career administrators).

[Kudsman]

The Cali Dems will probably run him for Congress, as a lady!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Like leftism. There is no cure.

At this point, is it fair to say the entirety of “our” education system in America is being run by LGBTQMF groomers, recruiters, satanists, grifters and there really aren’t enough lampposts coast to coast to fix this problem because the same can be said of “our” government employees across the civil service spectrum?

Just asking.

It seems like a number of “Teacher of the Year” candidates, finalists, winners, etc have ended up making the news for illegal activity of some kind.

I’ll bet it is widespread, and in nearly every school. Children in the school years are so vulnerable that they likely don’t see themselves as victims. Worse, the guilt will show up in their adult years as they question their own morality.

The NFL will probably take a knee during the anthem for him.

How are these uneducated people employed to educate America’s children?

DEI begets DEI.

In other words, if the Administration is encorcelled with meritless members, then their hirelings will also be bereft of value.

Garbage in brings garbage out.

Denial in support of a child predator.

This should cinch the win for him. He represents the ideal corrupter of children, the goal of the American public education system.

Instead of apologizing, the “principal” tries to cover her own sorry a$$. And “her” pic makes one wonder if she’s really a “her”. And the perp doesn’t look like someone you’d want around your kids.
