About 15 Homewood-Flossmoor High School students left the building before noon and went across the street on Kedzie Avenue on a rainy day to join representatives of activist groups to protest safety procedures at the school.
Homewood-Flossmoor student Titilayo Anoma speaks out about safety at her school and demands some changes during a protest Thursday morning.
Junior Titilayo Anoma said there were at least 100 students who wanted to come out and protest Thursday but said the school locked the students in, which school officials dispute. Lashawn Littrice, who brought the activist groups together for Thursday’s protest and said she has a daughter at the school, said hundreds of students walked out March 16 over this issue.
Jodi Bryant, the school’s director of human resources and public relations, said Thursday there were no locked doors. She said the students made demands to administrators and they either received no response or “they responded with comical remarks.” [Most read] Mayor Lightfoot’s pick for new alderman has deep roots in Chinatown, would be 1st Asian American woman on City Council: ‘The 11th Ward is Chicago’“We have been made aware that there may be outside adult groups that will be attempting to enter our campus in order to influence our students and their behavior through misinformation,” according to the recording.
