Major brownie points for my editing teacher, who found this.
Remember when Oprah opened up some school for girls in Johannesburg?
Some parents aren't too thrilled with it. (article) (http://http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,9294,2-7-1442_2081757,00.html)
Limited contact with parents
Visitors must be approved
Point system of rewards
Questionable diet
Who knows what else, knowing Oprah and her perchant for LGAT mind-fuckery.
I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not.
What I want to know is, where the hell are all of these concerned and worried parents who have children in facilities over here?
Ah well, this post is going to dust in about a day anyway. Just thought I'd stick it in here while it's fresh in my mind.

In fairness I can see the need for security guards in a country which has pockets of violence. particularly if some girls are from prominent families which may be targets. Some boarding schools here have discrete security people. I cant understand any of the other wacko rules tho.
Largely sounds like idiotic western imperalism at its worst. Here is another link.

The bitch should move BACK to AFRICA, start a movement and take her friends with her.

Well, in all fairness, she ISN'T from Africa. She is American. How would you like it if someone didn't like you because you are of Irish descent or Italian and someone said go back to Ireland or Italy, but neither you nor your parents or grandparents have ever set foot there? I am by no means an Oprah fan. She toots her own horn way too often and seems fake to me. But, your statement was a little on the racist side, in my opinion. I think, personally, if she wants to help somebody there are plenty of people who need her money here. We send way too much money outside of this country when there is plenty of need here. Can you imagine how many public school systems could be improved, hospitals better staffed, neighborhoods beautified, kids put through college, and health care be provided just from Oprah's assets alone?? It boggles the mind! :)

See what happens when a central federal agnecy like FCC generates some power for sale?
Shit, SH, who do I have to piss off and how hard to get them to pay my way to Ireland? I'm actually sort of in the mood for it lately, too.

As much as I would love to see Scotland and Wales, I believe any hypothetical exile would come to a screeching halt as a result of the bigots being confounded over what to do regarding the black dutch portion of my ancestry. "Send him back to the four hundred different places he possibly came from!"

Blah blah blah blah (but you are right).
Dont waste your time talking to these kind of people.
On the other hand,Oprah DID go back to Africa and aparently she owns property there.
If this guy wants to be rid of her for good,then he should keep his mouth shut until at least she plants some firm roots there,or maybe she will stay in America just to spite him.
-
Oprah is a fucktard. I don't hate Africa enough to curse the poor fuckers with that stupid broad. Things are bad enough over there without that toxic bitch fucking things up even more.
Imagine.. Challenge day for the rebels and government troops to express their feelings and to forgive each other.
Anyone want to club together some cash to go in on a betting pool as to how long it would take for someone's arm to get chopped off?

Best idea I've heard. Send the blacks back to Africa, the Jews back to Israel, the whites back to Europe and the rest back to whatever shithole they came from and leave this land to the native americans. That is the only truly righteous thing to do!!!!! See you in europe!!!
-
I Send ... the Jews back to Israel, the whites back to Europe ... See you in europe!!!
Um,you idiot,THEY ARE TRYING to get the Jews "back in Israel".Thats the fucking problem.

There are even more complaints in the news. Oprah was interviewed by the media and curtly told parents that if they had any complaints, they should bring them to her or the school master, not to the press. I find it strange that any parent, especially poor struggling ones that are supposedly who these parents are, would contact the press first and not Oprah. Perhaps they did contact the school and were ignored or threatened.

Yes, I have read this too, You may be a little unfamiliar with South Africa or any area (relatively poor area) which has a temporary celebrity attached to their name. The press is hovering everywhere trying to get a story, hit it big so they can go back to work in the home office and be with their family?.all it takes is one mother saying ?I went to visit my daughter and the gates were locked and they wouldn?t let me in?..? This will explode into isolation, not allowing a mother to speak to her daughter?.they will have shots of a desperate mother hanging onto the gate screaming (of course no money will change hands, that would be unethical) ?Please let me see my little lulu??.the gates are there to protect the kids?.it is an unsafe area unlike the US?.but this information will not reach the ears of the US public ? we need more drama!!!! Ha,Ha, If this woman called the Oprah team she would find out the gates are closed to protect the kids and she can walk in during the scheduled hours? I can see why Oprah may be frustrated?. The press uses a sharp stick sometimes to get people going and/or to get a good story. I am not a fan of Oprah at all but I can see how she could be frustrated by the stories they are telling.

"Meanwhile the school seems to have made the rules even stricter. Until now, the girls could receive visitors every fortnight, but parents can now only visit them once a month."
This is out of keeping with any normal BS. Parents can arrive on any given weekend, have a quiet word with the housemistress and sign their kid out. All that is usually requred is they give a rough idea of when they are bringing the kid back home
-
This will no doubt play out interestingly.
