Summit Christian Academy, under scrutiny for a toxic and racist culture, faced backlash after a previous investigation. Head of School, Chris Hahn, responded with a vague email that failed to address the central issue of racial and homophobic terror within the school. The email downplayed hate speech as an “inappropriate comment,” revealing a lack of understanding of the severity of such language. Alumni shared harrowing experiences of racism within the school, with students reporting instances of discrimination and mistreatment. Hahn’s response raised questions about the school’s ability to address systemic racism and create a safe environment for all students. The community demanded concrete actions to dismantle the racism and homophobia that permeate the school’s culture. The Defender, committed to exposing injustice, highlighted the testimonies of students and alumni to shed light on the pervasive issues at Summit Christian Academy. The school’s response was criticized for minimizing the seriousness of racism and failing to take meaningful steps towards accountability and change. As the story continues to unfold, the demand for transparency, action, and real transformation within the school grows stronger.
