Sushi for lunch again: Teachers allege disturbing conditions at Kanye West's Donda Academy in new lawsuit

LOS ANGELES — At Kanye West's Donda Academy, the performer's Christian K-12 school, students were subjected to unsafe, unregulated and unsanitary conditions, two former teachers allege in a lawsuit against West and others filed this week in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Cecilia Hailey and Chekarey Byers, the only two Black female teachers at the school, were fired after they voiced concerns over the conditions to administrators, according to the complaint.

The school, named for West's mother, operated in Simi Valley before moving to its current location in Chatsworth, according to California Department of Education records.
