Former Teacher Says 'Hitler Vibes' Were Present At Kanye West's Donda Academy

Former Donda Academy teacher Cecilia Hailey has filed a lawsuit against Kanye West, alleging that the school environment had unsettling practices, including student marching drills that she described as giving “Hitler vibes.”

Hailey also claims teachers were discouraged from intervening in bullying incidents, and alleges that students were academically behind.

The lawsuit, which also raises issues of curriculum compliance, is scheduled for trial in April 2025.
