Ye's Donda Academy had empty windows because he didn't like glass, ex-official claims in lawsuit

A former official and teacher who worked at two schools founded by Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, is suing the artist and his Christian academies, alleging in a lawsuit filed Thursday that they had dismal sanitation, electrical problems and windows and a skylight that were left empty because Ye allegedly didn’t like glass.

Isaiah Meadows, a former assistant principal at Yeezy Christian Academy, the predecessor to Donda Academy, said he was suspended and later fired after he complained about conditions at the Southern California schools.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, adds to a chorus of allegations against Ye and his pursuit of what the Donda Academy website describes as a “mission to provide the youth with the passion, purpose and spiritual foundations they need to thrive in tomorrow’s world.”

Donda Academy in Simi Valley, Calif.Google MapsIn a separate suit filed this year by the law firm that lodged Thursday’s complaint, two former teachers accused Ye and Donda Academy of wrongful termination, painting a troubling portrait of a school they say has no janitorial or medical staffs, rampant bullying and rules that appeared to ban the use of forks and clothes that weren't black or designed by Ye.

A third plaintiff was added to the suit last month.
