Our nation’s major cities continue to spiral out of control…
According to a Fox News report, the Academy of Media Arts, a private school in Los Angeles serving the city’s Black and Latino youth, has been forced to close its doors over public safety concerns stemming from the homeless crisis, a lawsuit alleges.
Founder Dana Hammond filed suit over the school’s closure. He spoke with Fox & Friends on Tuesday saying he had no choice but to close the school after students were exposed to drug use, nudity, human feces, and even intruders.
“There’s a breach of contract and extension that the city continues to house…. over 400 of some of the highest-needs individuals, homeless individuals, that [are] suffering from drug illness and drug addiction,” Hammond told host Carley Shimkus.
“My mom suffered from drugs, illness, which is why I started this work in terms of preparing students for the future of work, and it’s just been intruders after intruders, indecent exposure,” he continued.
“I’m sitting in my office today at Third and Fig in our classrooms. Our students get the chance to see the… Intercontinental Hotel, but they also have to deal with individuals who are nude in the back, doing drugs in the back. It’s just on and on, smoking marijuana in front of our school.”
Hammond found crack pipes and even human feces on the campus.
“If we ask them to move… it becomes quickly escalated in a fight with one of our security guards,” Hammond said. “It just has been a disaster that we’ve lost enrollment, and then on January 10th, we had an intruder high on LSD enter our classrooms, enter our campus… Someone’s going to die, and I had to get our students out of here.”
