Oprah also ruffled a few feathers when she said that she chose to do this in Africa and not the US, because children here don’t give a damn. She said, “I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools [in the U.S.]. If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don’t ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school.”
Um…do those girls really need a nail salon and a yoga studio? Because Oprah made sure to include one when she opened the school.
