00:00 Kanye West opened a school and it didn't really go as planned.
00:02 First of all, for those who don't know, Kanye West actually opened a school in early 2022, the Donda Academy.
00:08 But the Donda Academy is not a school like the others.
00:10 Its purpose is to train the next generation of leaders, thinkers and innovators.
00:13 If you know Kanye West's character, it won't surprise you if I tell you that his school is not at all like the others.
00:17 First of all, the parents who enrolled their children in the Donda Academy had to sign a non-confidentiality agreement.
00:21 After, as it is a private school, it is not very surprising either.
00:23 Indeed, many school programs had been modified,
00:26 especially history classes that did not mention, for example, the history of African-Americans and even less the existence of the Holocaust.
00:30 Moreover, in April 2023, two former teachers of the Donda Academy filed a complaint against the school,
00:35 claiming that they had been victims of racial discrimination.
00:37 These two teachers were the only black people in the entire Donda Academy
00:40 and they explained that the school was not at all suitable for children.
00:43 They were not allowed to draw, to make crosswords or to bring their own medication within the school.
00:47 Moreover, there was no chair in the Donda Academy and the students had to eat on the floor.
00:51 Moreover, very strangely, the only food that was allowed was sushi.
00:53 Several parents of students filed a complaint against the school
00:55 and the Donda Academy, after only a few months of existence, had to close its doors in October 2022.
