An Oregon woman is taking a victory lap following a local group's decision to cancel a planned screening of Kindergarten Cop after she and others complained that the 1990 comedy makes light of the “school-to-prison pipeline.” They also complained that the movie contains problematic racial undertones.
"It's true Kindergarten Cop is only a movie. So are Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind, but we recognize films like those are not 'good family fun,'” Portland author Lois Leveen, who, of course, is white, told the Willamette Week in an email. "They are relics of how pop culture feeds racist assumptions."
“Because despite what the movie shows,” she adds, “in reality, schools don't transform cops. Cops transform schools, and in an extremely detrimental way.”
For reference, here is the trailer to the 1990 movie starring former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger:
