Kindergarten Cop Is Canceled, Likened to Birth of a Nation

It's come to this: Kindergarten Cop, a banal 1990 comedy-action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a police detective who masquerades as a teacher, has been canceled and likened to the explicitly racist silent film Birth of a Nation.

Kindergarten Cop was slated to kick off Portland's Northwest Film Center's Cinema Unbound Drive-in Theater on August 6 until critics led by local author Lois Leveen said the PG-13 movie promoted a "school-to-prison pipeline," according to the Willamette Week.

In an email to Willamette Week, Leveen likened the Schwarzenegger vehicle to Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind:

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.'…They are relics of how pop culture feeds racist assumptions. Because despite what the movie shows…in reality, schools don't transform cops. Cops transform schools, and in an extremely detrimental way.

The Northwest Film Center wouldn't tell the Willamette Week's Matthew Singer "how much influence Leveen's comments had on its decision, but the organization did respond to her tweets directly in announcing the cancellation." Kindergarten Cop has been replaced by a second showing of John Lewis: Good Trouble, a documentary about the recently deceased congressman and civil rights leader. Other films in the series include Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Xanadu, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and The Shining.

It's probably a gender issue with what this kid said.

So, there you are! That’s ‘proof’ the two are intertwined!//

Apparently it’s an actual phrase they use:

“Evidence is mounting that efforts to fight the school-to-prison pipeline is creating a school climate catastrophe and has if anything put at-risk students at greater risk,” said Mr. Eden at a Dec. 8 hearing of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

I’ve only seen that movie a million times. In no way doesn’t promote a, “school to prison pipeline”.

At first, I thought this was going to be about, “boys have a penis and girls have a vagina”.

No; this is spiritual.

Amoebic encephalitis is quite fatal, BTW, and does not change one’s political views.

Say what you want about Arnold. Sucked as a politician, but he revolutionized the action movie genre. T2 alone is the greatest sequel and sci-fi movie ever.

Truthfully, I thought the abortion subplot was done very honestly. Of course I wish Stacy chose life, but it wasn't like the character saw abortion as a panacea. Indeed, she was pretty depressed afterwards, when Brad surprised her and drove her back. If anything, I viewed the abortion as a turning point in Stacy's life (she certainly didn't become a tramp like Linda) and a mildly pivotal moment for Damone. All-in-all, I doubt any kid saw Fast Times and came away with a war, and fuzzy feeling about abortion.

While were at it, why aren't the Wokey folks all busted up over the Phoebe Cates' legendary nude scene or Jennifer Jason Leigh's nudity? I guess objectification of women is lower on the woke pecking order than racism, though Spicoli did get away with trashing Jefferson's car.

LOL.... no doubt.

“... “school-to-prison” pipeline in which African American, Latinx, and other kids of color are criminalized rather than educated.”

Well, maybe it’s because the African American, Latinx, and other kids of color, are actually committing crimes while at school. Should these crimes like assault, robbery, rape, etc. be ignored just because they happen at school instead of on the street? Or should they (and this is the real reason) be ignored because it’s ‘children of color’ who are committing them?

Austria's three greatest accomplishments were:
1. Convince the world that Beethoven was from Austria.
2. Convince the world that Hitler was from Germany.
3. Convince Ahhhnold to leave.

These actions persist amid a disturbing display of B-horror movie proportions: Massospora spores gnaw away at a cicada’s genitals, butt and abdomen, replacing them with fungal spores. Then they “wear away like an eraser on a pencil,” Lovett said.

I’ll be brief: Leveen is full of shit.
