Kanye West's Donda Academy closed after fallout over antisemitic remarks: report https://ift.tt/uZUPstj

Donda Academy is reportedly officially closed for the school year amid fallout over antisemitic comments by its founder Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. 

According to The Times, Jason Angell, the principal of the southern California school, told parents in an email that "at the discretion of [its] founder" the academy would immediately shutter for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year.

Angell said the academy intends to "begin afresh" in September of next year. 

"Our leadership team will be working diligently to assist all families during this transition, ensuring that every scholar has what they need to succeed in their next community in a prompt and gracious manner," Angell said.

According to TMZ, Ye commented on the closure on Instagram. 

"Here's the clout you're looking for. My school is being shut down," he reportedly said in a deleted post.

Donda Academy return Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The unaccredited Simi Valley school promotes a Christian faith-based education for students in pre-K through the 12th grade. 

In addition to core classes and enrichment courses, its website touts "full school worship" and parkour.

In an interview on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Ye said his children would go visit the academy after school.

TMZ said parents of the about 100 students without scholarships were paying $15,000 a year and that they were required to sign non-disclosure agreements before their children could become students. 

A TikTok video posted to social media showed children dressed in black singing "Good morning, Donda."

Since Ye's antisemitic remarks — tweeting that he would go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE" — companies have severed ties with his Yeezy fashion brand.

Chuck Bailey, a top basketball recruit, announced he was leaving the academy early Thursday. 

"Due to everything that has been going on with Mr. West, last week my family and I decided to part ways with Donda Academy. Thank you @DondaSports," he tweeted. 

Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown have said that they would end their affiliation with Donda Sports.
