Unfortunately, by ending their school liaison programs, school trustees in Vancouver and New Westminster have missed an invaluable teachable moment. By ending a program that encourages a positive relationship between police officers and students, school trustees have effectively joined society’s “cancel culture” phenomenon. Reasons for ending the program included concerns that “uniformed officers make some students anxious or upset, including many identifying as Black, Indigenous, or people of colour.” In addition, the 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis by police officer Derek Chauvin and the resulting global spotlight on excessive force by police officers were cited as contributing factors to the trustees’ decision.
