Kanye West Opens '$15,000 a Year' Private Prep School

[Turd Fergusen]

Kanye West has opened the doors of his mysterious new Christian Preparatory school, just weeks after feuding with ex-wife Kim Kardashian over their four children's education.

The controversial rapper and designer aims to create a 'new generation of leaders' through classes that includes athletic discipline Parkour at Donda Academy, named after his late mother, in Simi Valley, California.

The school opened to 100 young students in August, with photos circulating on social media appearing to show them in loose-fitting uniforms apparently designed by 45-year old West's Adidas endorsed Yeezy brand.

Donda enrolment is believed to cost $15,000 per year, but a statement on its website claims 'everyone is welcome to apply regardless of financial situation.'

To that end, as many as half of the students currently receiving tuition at the facility are believed to be the recipients of financial assistance or school scholarships.

If I was Kim, my kids wouldn't be going there. Just saying.

Athletic discipline parkour? okay then.

I would be wary of what Kanye thinks an actual education is.

I have no great fondness for the guy, but hey, at least he's doing something out there! He's doing something rather than whining that it hasn't been done already. That's a step in the right direction in my eyes. I probably wouldn't send a child of mine to his schools, but I wouldn't send them to Catholic school either after my two years in one.

It’s not an accredited school so who knows who the Fuck the teachers are and what these kids are learning! This is insanity….. he’s mentally ill and nobody is stopping him. It’s scary….

Having wealth does not equate to expertise on anything.
This "school" sounds sketchy particularly when you look at the severity of his mental health.

Rapper Kanye West said he's never read a book and prefers talking instead.

On Friday's episode of Alo Yoga's "Alo Mind Full" podcast, West told Alo cofounder Danny Harris he's a bigger fan of a "good conversation."
[....]
"Reading is like eating Brussels sprouts for me," West added. "And talking is like getting the Giorgio Baldi corn ravioli."

West was referring to a famous pasta dish served at a restaurant in Santa Monica, Giorgi Baldi, that he and his former partner Kim Kardashian once went to.

During the podcast, West said he only reads the first and last sentences of long text messages. He also expressed frustration over the expectation that he needs to speak proper English to be respected.

"It's the Tower of Babylon. English, y'know. The idea of having to speak correct English, like, you're not going to respect what I'm saying, even though you know what I'm saying, unless I'm speaking correct English," West said.

He compared having his speaking corrected to being pulled over and having to do an "alcohol test."

"We have to balance things with curriculums that allow for self-confidence," West said. "Because so many of the schools and modern indoctrinations take away from the confidence that these future leaders would have in themselves."

His comments about reading and his school's curriculum came a day after Rolling Stone released a report about Donda Academy. The outlet spoke to two sources, who said it's unclear who teaches at the school and who is sending their kids there. Families are asked to sign nondisclosure agreements, the outlet found.

Representatives for West and the Donda Academy did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

I do not mind so much that he speaks "correct English" as that what he says sometimes is absolutely undecipherable.

Bragging about having never read a book, is dangerous to young people who already don't want to read. As a reader of everything, I absolutely don't understand that, books can take you places you never imagined you'd go.

Only reading the first and last line of written correspondence is not only lazy but could be a fiasco. But I'm sure he has an assistant who reads for him.

Ok so first of all Brussel sprouts are amazing when they are prepared well. Secondly, I’m picturing the ghosts of gangster rappers past slapping the shit out of him for that corn ravioli reference lol

I did 6 years on the inside. Not prison, all girls Catholic school. Will never subject my kid to it. He’s a boy, but you get what I mean lol.

What a lunatic… this is giving me Jerry McGuire vibes “WHOS COMIN WITH ME”, except more pathetic. I wonder if the school closing nullifies the NDAs?

Ye, dude. It didn't work. I tried to be nice in the beginning, but this, it's just embarrassing...
