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."
"We intend to begin afresh in September of 2023, and we are confident that our scholars will continue to advance as the creative innovators, courageous influencers and academic leaders of the next generation. Thank you for your support," the school said.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel he's as crazy as 45.
..."Podcasts and media
A recent episode of HBO's The Shop featuring Ye was scrapped after the Chicago rapper used the show to spew more antisemitic rhetoric. Maverick Carter, one of the creators of the show, said in a statement to Andscape, "Kanye was booked weeks ago and, after talking to Kanye directly the day before we taped, I believed he was capable of a respectful discussion and he was ready to address all his recent comments. Unfortunately, he used The Shop to reiterate more hate speech and extremely dangerous stereotypes."...
