A Colorado school district placed a high school teacher on paid administrative leave after images surfaced online of students smashing a Cinco de Mayo piñata with President Donald Trump’s picture on it.

KDVR Fox 31 Denver reports the Weld County School District will not release the name of the Roosevelt High School teacher responsible for the incident but that a probe of the matter is starting 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.
