*Kanye West (AKA “Ye”) banned Black history books at his Donda Academy, where it also alleged that students are only fed sushi.
Former Donda Academy teacher Cecilia Hailey is suing the rapper as well as the school and its directors for racial discrimination and wrongful termination, Page Six reports. The rapper launched his Christian prep school in Simi Valley, California, which aims to “provide the youth with the passion, purpose and spiritual foundations they need to thrive in tomorrow’s world,” according to its website.
A Who We Are section on the school’s official site states, “Using an ethic of integrity and care, Donda Academy prepares students to become the next generation of leaders, thinkers and innovators by providing them with a world-class education that includes a rigorous core curriculum, and an emphasis on sustainability, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving.”
Hailey claims Ye banned books that would encourage critical thinking skills, such as “The Lost Boys of Sudan,” by Mark Bixler.

“There was one book called ‘The Lost Boys of Sudan’ that was banned because one of the parents got shot in the book. But the kids were reading ‘Harry Potter’ and there are murders in [those] books.
“Kanye wanted nothing to do with history, I was told,” Hailey told Page Six.
Last year, Ye admitted that he doesn’t actually read books.
“When you said ‘I hadn’t read this book,’ I actually haven’t read any book,” Ye said on the Alo Yoga podcast Alo Mind Full, TheWrap reports. “Reading is like eating brussel sprouts for me. And talking is like getting the Giorgio Baldi corn ravioli.”
Meanwhile, Hailey’s lawsuit alleges that students were only given chef-prepared sushi for lunch.
“There was no breakfast. You had young kids eating raw sushi and cucumber rolls every day,” Hailey said. “A lot of the kids didn’t like it and that’s all they had.
“This is not a nutritional meal. There are state guidelines and nobody paid attention. I thought it was not only rude, but cruel.”
There are behavioral issues and disorganization at the school, Hailey claims.
“Kanye would never have sent his own children to Donda, no way … it was just a luxury day care,” she told Page Six.
“The kids had so many changes, so many teachers. I was like the fourth or fifth they had in the third grade, and they had had 10 principals in three years,” Hailey told Page Six.
“It wasn’t that the kids were bad, it was that there was so much disruption,” she said.
“The thing that upset me is that he would go to his own children’s activities, but he would never come to Donda,” Hailey said of Ye.
“Donda could be a wonderful place. We’ve got great students, but no leadership,” she added.
