Oh, Oprah



Oprah seems to be in a bit of a pickle. Her school in Africa has come under fire because of an alleged sexual abuse to one of the students by one of the matrons and physical abuse to a couple of the students. She has placed two of the matrons and the school principle on leave.

In a meeting with parents of the students, she tearfully apologized for what was going on at the school.

"I've disappointed you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry,"

I'm sorry, but no. This is the same Oprah who told the parents to but out of what was going on at the school a couple of months ago, remember that? The parents went to the media to complain about not being able to get in contact with their kids and now she's apologizing to them because they were being abused? I mean, this whole thing has been ridiculous.

Yes, I agree she's done a good thing by opening up that school, but think about it. She's spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on one school for a handful of children when she could have opened up hundreds of schools around Africa to help thousands of students. And then she prohibits the students from having a lot of contact with their parents saying that it's "a boarding school" and now this happens. I know I shouldn't talk because I'm not an Oprah fan, but still.
