Faculty member at Oprah's school charged with sexual assault (http://http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7260671)
LONDON (NBC) - There are allegations of abuse at the African school built by Oprah Winfrey. A member of the faculty is being charged with physical assault of one student and sexual assault of another student.
Oprah Winfrey has spent tens of millions of dollars to open up a leadership academy for girls outside of Johannesburg in January. But since then, she's taken some hits for it, taken some criticism for it - criticism from parents who say the school may be too strict, alleging that they didn't get access to their children as they wanted to.
But this allegation is the most serious by far.
According to reports in South Africa, it involves a girl who had run away from the school recently. She made claims against one of the dorm mothers, saying things like this woman had been abusing the girls physically and verbally - that she was using profanity and most seriously, that she had sexually abused at least one of the children there.
Oprah Winfrey flew down over the weekend to meet with people associated with the school and she did release a statement saying "nothing is more devastating to me than an allegation of misconduct by an adult against any girl at the academy."
The school also said that this woman had been removed from the environment and that they are offering counseling to the other children there at the school.

would you expect anything different from oprah? just because she sounds like an understanding housewife doesnt mean she's not a media/drugwar cronie. The woman is pure evil, and she's the human manifestation of republican propaganda aimed at the liberal female demographic. she's just like the 10'clock news, exept for housewives who care more about their household than world news. all she does is scare, scare, scare, and cause problems in households by CREATING the fucking problems. It's the same principle of parents sending their kids to programs for just smokin a little pot. the media (with the help of oprah and other rightwing numbnuts...or numbtits) just scares parents into thinking a, b, c, and d are huge problems, which must be eliminated, when in reality none of these things are truly issues. Essentially, she makes little things into big deals and then fucks up peoples lives when they listen to her.
and about that school, it was just a publicity stunt to reach out to an international audience. period. she doesnt give a flying fuck about some little girl's allegations as long as her viewership keeps going up. thats the reality of the TV bussiness - i know it intimately.
