\n A Portland theater has scrapp<\/a>ed plans to screen the Arnold Schwarzenegger flick \u201cKindergarten Cop\u201d after complaints that the comedy \u201cromanticizes over-policing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Northwest Film Center announced this week it would pull the 1990 film starring Schwarzenegger as a detective who goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher in order to bust a drug dealer, The Willamette Week reported.<\/p>\n

The move comes after author Lois Leveen called on the theater to cancel the screening, saying there\u2019s \u201cnothing entertaining about the presence of police in schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, 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 \u2018good family fun,\u2019\u201d she wrote on Twitter<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are relics of how pop culture feeds racist assumptions. KINDERGARTEN COP romanticizes over-policing in the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n

The theater said it came to decision after hearing from not only Leveen, but \u201ca dozen others, including Black community members who asked us to consider opening the Drive-In with a different movie,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The film center will instead show \u201cGood Trouble,\u201d a new documentary about civil rights icon John Lewis, who died July 17.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
