Robert Nunes, the principal of Buhach Colony High School, was placed on administrative leave following a video that showed him dancing with a mascot during a school rally. In the video, Nunes appeared to run his hands down the mascot's chest— a moment captured at a Las Vegas themed back-to-school event— which has sparked mixed reactions within the community. Some feel it was light-hearted fun, while others deemed it unprofessional for an educator.
Ryan Attebery, who shared the video online, expressed mixed feelings about Nunes' actions, stating, "Am I a square or was this weird af for a principal to do?" Attebery noted that while he understands some may not share his view, he believes parents deserve transparency regarding principal conduct during school events.
Defending the principal, Justin Rogers commented on Attebery's post, highlighting Nunes' positive reputation in the community: "This man is so widely respected and loved by everyone in his community... Teachers love him, students love him and co-workers love him." This sentiment showcases the divisive opinions surrounding the event, as many former students seemed surprised by the backlash.
The Merced Union High School District has placed Principal Robert Nunes on administrative leave following the circulation of the controversial video, but neither Nunes nor the district offered immediate comments on the incident. The decision came amidst debates in the community about what constitutes acceptable behavior from a school principal during light-hearted events.
