That explains a lot.
Kanye West shared that hes repulsed by literature, comparing books to a vegetable often despised by children.
The hit-makers confession comes after a Rolling Stone report that parents were required to sign nondisclosure agreements to send their children to his tuition-based Christian private school. The school, Donda Academy, is named after his late mother, Donda West, who was a professor.
What a loser.

And yet, I still think he's a moron.
And that anybody who sends their kids to his moron school is a moron.

(42,358 posts)Maybe the most remarkable thing about the report that Trump kept a copy of Mein Kampf by his bed is the idea that he would look at any book that was about something other than Donald Trump.
ETA: I see from a post below that it wasn't Mein Kampf, it was a book of Hitler's speeches. Same principle applies, though. Even if Donald Trump thinks Hitler was awesome, he's not going to waste precious Donald Trump time reading anything that's not about Donald Trump.

(11,235 posts)According to a 1990 Vanity Fair interview, Ivana Trump once told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that her husband, real-estate mogul Donald Trump, now a leading Republican presidential candidate, kept a book of Hitler's speeches near his bed.
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed ... Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist," Marie Brenner wrote.

Does he even have a GED or HS diploma.
This makes me want to vomit.
But I'll bet his friend Betsy Devos is all giggles and happy at that.

An NDA for you to send your children there? What's he hiding about what he's doing to the children? This is a recipe for abuse.
