It seems as though a form of cancel culture may have played out recently within a Portland high school, as a football coach found himself terminated and he’s saying it has to do with him being a Portland Police sergeant.

Portland Police Sergeant Ken Duilio was recently terminated by Portland Public Schools with regard to his position as the Cleveland High School football coach. He was onboarded for the 2019 season and was informed that his contract would not be renewed.
This notice of termination also happens to coincide with pressure put on by locals against his appointment as a coach due to his being a PPD sergeant and the schools requesting his resignation weeks prior to him being informed that they weren’t going to renew his contract.
The athletic director for Portland Public Schools, Marshall Haskins, claimed that the reason for relieving Sergeant Duilio was because the school “chose to go in a different direction” for the 2020 season and that his termination had nothing to do with him being a part of the PPD.
According to Sergeant Duilio, he says that a group of individuals coordinated a slander campaign against him shortly after he spoke on June 26th at a news conference at the PPD’s North Precinct.
