Students attending Kanye West’s Donda Academy eat sushi every day in the cafeteria, with no tables, chairs, or even utensils. The building also lacks cleaners or school nurses, and teachers have nowhere to teach or discipline their students, according to a lawsuit that paints a bizarre picture of a Christian private school.

Two former teachers at a preschool through 12th grade facility in Simi Valley, Calif., have previously attempted to raise concerns about what they say is a clear violation of Department of Education regulations. But they say they were quickly and unfairly fired from their new job. Now they are suing the disgraced rapper and several other school leaders for racial discrimination and labor violations.

Cecilia Haley, an educator of 25 years, and her daughter Chekari Byers, who is also a teacher, were the only black teachers at Donda Academy for just two months before they were fired on March 3, according to a lawsuit filed with VICE News by their lawyer. They were paid irregularly and were often short of $2,700 for a pay period.

Their lawsuit also alleges multiple health and safety violations that the school failed to address. Instead, the principal called Hayley and Byers “aggressive” for trying to give an idea of ​​what the school needed.

“I’m just tired of the rhetoric that competent black women are considered violent,” Hailey said in a statement provided by her attorney.

“I feel really sad about all of this,” Byers said. “I will never deny it [West’s] talent, but while his vision for the school sounds great on paper, it’s just pure chaos and rebellion. It’s like a mental hospital run by patients.”

Some of the most egregious issues, according to the lawsuit, have to do with the school’s frivolous security measures. According to the lawsuit, teachers are not provided with or required to have basic life support courses such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and there are no school nurses or protocols to meet the medical needs of children. The school also does not have a cleaning service. Instead, he provides teachers with acidic water microfiber cloths for cleaning.

Regarding the material taught to students, the lawsuit alleges that the school did not comply with California’s rules regarding testing or individual lesson plans. And there was no system of disciplinary action on children, which, according to the lawsuit, allowed bullying of students and teachers to go unpunished. According to the lawsuit, one eighth grader who constantly bullied others, for example, hit a classmate and tried to do the same to a teacher. The institution did nothing to punish them.

“There are several students with bullying issues that remain unresolved,” the lawsuit says.

Yeh, who named the school after his late mother Donda West, a former chair of English at Chicago State University, has long been silent about the private school he founded last year. But after false claims about the murder of George Floyd and several scathing tirades against the Jewish community, one of which he praised Hitler, the school, once shrouded in mystery, began to crack. What’s this closed briefly last October after his infamous anti-Semitic interview on the Drink Champs podcast before his parents were told it will remain open in less than a day.

Meanwhile, the parents and staff, tired of Ye’s public antics, started leaving school in droves.

Hayley and Byer’s lawsuit provides a glimpse of what it’s like to attend school.

According to the lawsuit, students are not allowed to bring food or drinks with them, with the exception of water for lunch. Instead, they were provided with sushi paid for daily by Ye himself, who ate in an unfurnished canteen with no forks.

According to the lawsuit, wall art is banned in classrooms, as are traditional chairs. Instead, students are required to stand throughout the lesson or use foam cushions and teachers are provided with stools to sit on. The trash cans were limited to the kitchen and classrooms. And for some reason, coloring books and crossword puzzles were banned, and all classes had to be held on the first floor.

“Classes could not take place on the second floor as Defendant West reportedly did not want children or staff to go upstairs as he was reportedly afraid of stairs,” the lawsuit states.

“Kanye West is just as bad at managing the school as he is with his personal and professional life,” said lawyer Ron Zambrano for Haley and Bayer. “These egregious violations at Donda Academy are yet another example of West’s unusual behavior and our clients simply will not tolerate this, regardless of his celebrity status.”

The fame of the Grammy-winning artist and fashion mogul has taken a turn for the worse since the end of last year. He lost lucrative deals with Adidas, Balenciaga, Gap and JP Morgan Chase. His fake racist statements cost him $1.5 billion.
