Uncertainty swirls over the status of Donda Academy, an unaccredited private school run by the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, who has faced a backlash — financial and otherwise — for his recent antisemitic remarks.
As reported by The Root and other news outlets, an email was sent to parents Thursday morning, saying the school was closing. But a separate email, signed by "Parents of Donda," indicated the school would not be shutting down, TMZ reported.
In the earlier email, the school expressed its "gratitude for the community of families and scholars that Donda Academy brought together." The email then went on to say that "at the direction of our Founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year effective immediately. Thursday, October 27th. THERE IS NO SCHOOL TOMORROW."
