A Colorado high school teacher has been placed on paid administrative leave after photos of a controversial Cinco de Mayo incident of students smashing a pinata with President Donald Trump’s picture on it circulated online, reports Fox31 Denver.

WATCH:

Though the identity of the Roosevelt High School teacher is being withheld, Fox31 reports that an investigation into the incident is set to start on Monday.

“This was an incredibly disrespectful act that does not reflect the values of Roosevelt High School or the school district,” Superintendent Martin Foster said.

Facebook photos showed the pinata on a tree with a bat in the hand of a Spanish class student from Roosevelt High School in Johnstown.

The post was later removed, reports Fox31 Denver.
