The Strange Curriculum of Kanye West's Donda Academy

USATue Oct 29 2024
Cecilia Hailey, a former teacher at Donda Academy, is suing Kanye West for wrongful termination. She claims she was fired for opposing the school's unusual curriculum. Hailey says that the rapper wanted students to march and take rifle shooting classes. She thought these ideas were strange and compared them to Hitler's practices, which West has admired in the past. Hailey also alleges that the school didn't stop bullying among students. She saw younger kids getting hurt by older ones. This was a big problem because the school had students of all ages. Teachers weren't allowed to intervene. Hailey says it was chaotic. Donda Academy was launched in 2022 with the goal of helping future leaders and innovators. However, it struggled to catch on. Hailey's lawsuit might shed some light on why the school faced difficulties.
