Comments on multiple stories via Facebook show people are mad at the teacher for the piñata and bringing his "political beliefs into the classroom".

However, motives behind the political themed piñata don't seem to be clear as numerous students and parents of students that attend the school said that the piñata had President Donald Trump's face and the face of the Mexican President, Enrique Peña Nieto, on the opposite side. Sources also say that the teacher did not bring the piñata to Roosevelt High School, a student made it and brought it in for the Cinco De Mayo Celebration.

Roosevelt High School was closed today due to an unnamed threat via social media according to KDVR.
