Principal Robert Nunes of Buhach Colony High School in Atwater, California, has been placed on administrative leave after a video of him dancing provocatively with the school's mascot at a rally went viral. The video shows Nunes sliding his hands down the mascot's chest while Ginuwine’s 'Pony' plays in the background. The incident has sparked mixed reactions among parents and students, with some defending Nunes's actions as an attempt to be humorous, while others found the behavior inappropriate. The Merced Union High School District is conducting a comprehensive review of the situation and has temporarily appointed Executive Director Torrin Johnson and Associate Principal David Rogers as acting principals. The video has circulated widely on social media platforms, generating significant public attention and concern.
