Ye Rebrands Donda Academy


Last year Ye "formally known as Kanye" West's Christian private academy, Donda, reached a turning point after briefly shutting down and reopening, and then getting hit with multiple lawsuits from several former teachers [click here and here if you missed that]. 

Now Ye has rebranded the school as Donda Ray Academy, to include his father's name, and restructured the curriculum to focus on basketball, choir, and dance...

From The Sun
KANYE West's Christian private school is still in operation and has been rebranded with a focus on basketball, choir, and dance, as the rapper has hired top choreographers.
The 46-year-old star founded the unaccredited Los Angeles school, with tuition priced at $15,000 a year, in 2021.
Despite two lawsuits filed by former staffers over the alleged bizarre practices at Donda Academy and its original ranch campus being left abandoned, it is still running.
Kanye has now rebranded the school as Donda Ray Academy, a nod to both his parents after it moved to a warehouse space in Chatsworth in the San Fernando Valley.
An insider told The U.S. Sun this week that Kanye "was determined not to give up on the kids" despite the school getting off to a rocky start.
A lawyer for the hitmaker, Gregory Suhr, denied allegations made by ex-teachers, saying depictions of the school as a dystopian institution designed to satisfy Kanye's idiosyncrasies were false.
The star had been accused of not providing chairs, serving the children only sushi, and the school not having windows because Kanye "doesn't like glass".

Not being funny, but you can't have a person with uncontrolled bipolar disorder running a business, especially not a school. Education requires a consistent vision, not something that's going to change up on one of his whims. There's no way I'd sacrifice my child's education and future, just to be dropped whenever he moves into his next hyperfixation. The fact Kim ain't even sending his own kids there says all that needs to be said.

If I had my way, I'd report every parent that lets their child go there, to CPS.

Every child who was enrolled previously lost a school year. Kim ain't putting her babies anywhere need this.

He needs to give it up and shut it down. Those kids are being indoctrinated and mentally abused. The parents are wasting good money for voluntary cult-like brainwashing. Jesus take the wheel and smack Koonye's dumb azz upside the head with it.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Meanwhile back on the plantation, Massa nem has mandated that YOUR schools throw away books about our AA heroes, particularly those that mention slavery. Your black/brown kids are dying daily all across the US, with no city being immune! He offers core classes plus fashion, Japanese, restorative justice, and STEM, etc. GTFOH! Kanye is trying to help solve the problem! He has his issues but so does the country and city he live in. He is a product of his environment. Yet, he's still trying! Now, what have you done? If its "nothing," then you should keep quiet and continue supporting your local school-to-prison pipeline.
