Per ABC 30, an insider with the publication with children who are enrolled in the school expressed the following sentiment. "Could be a good dude. I don't know him, but I hear a lot of students sticking up for him," explained Ryan Attebery. "They say like, 'Oh, he's trying to be funny,' But like, if that's you trying to be funny, just don't be funny. Or he was trying to be cool with the kids, but that isn't cool."
The Merced Union High School District released a statement regarding Nunes' status. "The Merced Union High School District has placed Mr. Robert Nunes, Principal of Buhach Colony High School, on administrative leave effective Monday, August 19, 2024. This action follows an incident at the Back to School rally on Friday, August 16, 2024. This decision comes as part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all students and staff. The District is conducting a comprehensive review of the situation. While the investigation is ongoing, Mr. Nunes will not be participating in any school-related responsibilities or activities."

A few of the school's parents also spoke about their opinions on Nunes' suspension. "I do not think that it's right how much of like that he's under such a huge investigation," one anonymous parent stated. "I do believe that the kids liked the pep rally. They thought it was fun I understand what they're doing but I think they're putting too much on him."
The internet had a host of differing opinions, as is tradition! "Are you proud of yourself now? I can't believe how uptight you are. Apparently you're not allowed to have fun as a teacher. Does your junior now have a trauma because dad is the biggest squealer?" one Instagram user stated.
"This stuff is mad weird Brodie this generation is sad and mad weird," an opposing user commented. What say you, Wide Open Country readers?
