Horry said, “I feel bad for all those kids, those students, and teachers at the Donda Academy. Those people, you know, put their faith in him and I don’t know why they put their faith on the f*cking loon because you can’t do that.”

The Kanye West-founded Donda Academy is a Christian prep school rumored to be located in California’s Simi Valley. Amidst all the controversy, there were reports of the academy closing down. However, the latest sources claimed that the school was back to normal functioning after being closed down for a brief period of time.
