In the film, Schwarzengger plays a detective who goes undercover in a school to catch a drug dealer.
The choice received some pushback from local residents. A local author, Lois Leveen led the charge on Twitter, saying things like, "There's nothing entertaining about the presence of police in schools which feeds the 'school-to-prison' pipeline."
The film was replaced with a showing of the John Lewis documentary, "Good Trouble."

Among those who criticized the decision was conservative Sen. Ted Cruz, who tweeted: "Nutty. Angry leftists hate Hollywood. Anyone who disagrees will be censored. Hollywood, afraid of the mob, will keep funding those trying to erase any speech/movies that don't conform."
