Media Mogul Oprah Winfrey has chosen to speak about the sex scandal that has hit her South African girls school for the second time in as many years. A few students at her boarding school have been expelled from the school for sexual misbehavior after they were caught sexually harassing fellow students and some fondling each other.
Oprah Winfrey released a statement on Tuesday saying, “I’m disappointed that several of our students chose to disregard the school’s rules. It’s disheartening when any student has to be suspended or expelled and it’s a process that involves serious review and consideration. We insist on maintaining a campus environment that commands mutual respect, fosters academic excellence and encourages learners to fulfill their best potential.”
Which American school can boast of not having a sex scandal, just because it’s her school and there has been an incident such as this there is such an outrage and the media will of course not let go a chance to take a swipe at her.
I won’t blame the media either because most of those reporting such stories are not doing it for their part in bring such issues to the fore but rather to get print material that makes a quick buck for them.
