Surely this is written like a piece of spin-doctor style piece? No mention is made of the dead baby found at the school in Feb 2011. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.176.132 ( talk) 18:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't we mention the discussion about the naming of the school? She named it after herself, I mean if that's not cocky I don't know what is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.50.72.227 ( talk • contribs) 12:51, 27 February 2007
I agree that the project itself is a noble idea, but giving the school your full name when your not even dead isn't exactly humble. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.115.46 ( talk • contribs) 12:16, February 28, 2007
I think what Oprah Winfrey is doing is great to give those girls an education of excellence so that they can have a better aspect of life and there is nothing wrong with having good quality things, like the bedroom sheets and clothes hurry for Mama Oprah your doing a great job I Love it. HLQ
Oprah has a right to be cocky. A rooster (or hen) has the right to crow, if she's got the spurs to back it up. It's Oprah's money and she can do whatever pleases her (as long as it's legal), including naming the school after whomever she wants. Even if her motivation is publicity (I think partly true), it still benefits many people. That's the beauty of capitalism and free markets.
I do take exception to the creative editing of the "alleged" physical abuse incidents. The children involved were separated from their families and taken out of their country to Houston before local police could conduct a proper investigation. And now you hear NOTHING at all about these children. Where are they being held? Are they being treated appropriately or are they being brainwashed in order to help Oprah avoid a lawsuit? What happened to these children? Wikeye ( talk) 21:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
I've place a NPOV tag as the entire article is geared towards criticism and controversy is given undue weight. -- — Keithbob • Talk • 21:17, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
