The Surrey School District is investigating at Elgin Park Secondary, following an anonymous complaint that one of the school91Ƶs teachers made students watch a graphic documentary that includes videos of kittens being suffocated.

District spokesperson Ritinder Matthews confirmed Wednesday that a letter was received Monday.

91ƵA parent cited some concern that an inappropriate documentary was shown to students, or to their child,91Ƶ Matthews told Peace Arch News.

91ƵWe91Ƶre currently investigating to get a better understanding of what actually happened.91Ƶ

The letter, shared on Twitter by Vancouver news media, was addressed to district Supt. Jordan Tinney and dated Dec. 23. The writer claims their child came home from school traumatized after being made to watch Don91Ƶt F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer, a three-part series about convicted killer Luka Magnotta.

Magnotta is serving a life sentence for the brutal 2012 murder and dismemberment 91Ƶ which he videotaped 91Ƶ of an international computer-engineering student, whose hands and feet he then mailed to schools and federal political party offices.

91ƵChildren were shocked and horrified at what they were forced to watch,91Ƶ the letter to the school district states.

The letter-writer91Ƶs own child came home 91Ƶcrying and upset to the point of91Ƶ vomiting,91Ƶ the writer claims.

Matthews said teachers use discretion when preparing lesson plans and related content, and some will send a letter home or seek advice from a principal if they are concerned that the material 91Ƶcould be controversial or concerning for parents.91Ƶ

She could not confirm by PAN91Ƶs press deadline Wednesday if the district requires that step of teachers.

Asked when the district expected to have results of its investigation, Matthews said due to confidentiality, 91Ƶwe wouldn91Ƶt be sharing anything further than this.91Ƶ

If the complaint was deemed to be false, however, that would be shared, she said.
