Constant bullying. No chairs. Pay discrepancies. Kanye West and his Donda Academy school were sued by two former teachers who say they were unfairly fired after raising issues about the school's alleged health, safety, and educational code violations.

Hailey first started working at Donda Academy in Nov. 2022, joining as a substitute teacher before becoming a third-grade teacher in January of this year. Byers also joined the school in January as a fifth-grade teacher.

Hailey, who’d spent 25 years working in education, even serving as a dean of two colleges, soon noticed “multiple health and safety violations, as well as unlawful educational practices.” When it came to the education Donda Academy was supposed to provide its students, the suit says the school was not following California state regulations “for students in need of educational services, additional testing, or individualized learning plans.

There was also allegedly a complete absence of any “proper disciplinary system” at Donda Academy, and students were “subject to severe bullying.” The suit outlines one incident where a student allegedy assaulted an eighth-grader by “slapping her,” before trying to “assault another teacher.” Though the student had allegedly been involved in numerous bullying incidents before — “both physically and verbally” — they’d all gone without discipline.

Other issues at Donda Academy, according to the suit, ranged from the concerning to surreal. The plaintiffs claim the school had neither janitorial services, security precautions, nor even a school nurse or medical access . West also allegedly “did not believe in cleaning products containing chemicals, so teachers were only allowed to clean with acid water and microfiber cloths.”

West’s various proclivities reportedly shaped all the goings-on at the school, down to what was served for lunch every single day: Sushi. “Students were not allowed to bring any outside food for anything other than water,” the suit claims. “It was widely known that Defendant West spends $10,000.00 a week on sushi.”

The suit claims that crossword puzzles and coloring sheets are banned, students are only allowed to wear black clothes, and chairs are prohibited meaning kids have to 'sit on foam cushions or stand.' MORE:

you can't fire black teachers

Lawyers do these cases for free so that if the defendants end up winning they get a huge chunk of cash. This isn't news Rolling Stone.
