Winfrey's school rules compared to prison

SA parents complain about Oprah school rules : Mail & Guardian Online :
"Oprah hand-selected the first class of 152 poor, mostly black pupils to attend her new five-star private school outside Johannesburg, boasting state-of-the-art science laboratories, a yoga studio and beauty salon situated over 20 hectares."

It seems parents, initially pleased to have their daughters attend the multimedia billionaire's $40 million academy, are disturbed by policies such as a two-hour visit one Sunday per month. The school claims not to want to interfere with relations between parents and students, but their actions speak much more clearly of their true intentions.

This is a perfect example of the mindset of elites who have justifiably been called "coercive utopians." Just because someone is richer, and maybe even smarter, than you doesn't mean they can do a better job of running your life than you can; and it certainly doesn't give them the right to do so.
