My name is Tom Callin and I'm an award winning journalist from Writer's Depository. Over my illustrious career, I have worked for several publications including The Christian Science Monitor, CNN International, FOX News and the Oneonta Daily Star. I have decided to submit my latest news story here. Apparently my editor thought the piece offered too much of a cynical, almost jaded perspective. However, I stand by my piece as a journalistic triumph. The American people deserve to know the truth whether it is negative, positive or something in between.
“OPRAH” HAS SEX WITH HER STUDENTS
I don’t know about you but I for one LOVE Oprah Winfrey. I believe that Oprah Winfrey has been a positive role model for black and white children alike. So I was SHOCKED when I heard that last week seven students were suspended from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls for sexually harassing their fellow schoolmates. For those of you who don’t keep up with the news like I do, Oprah Winfrey started this all-girls boarding school in South Africa out of love for underprivileged children who need an education. Don’t get me started on education. EVERY child needs an education. Statistics show that children who are uneducated end up unemployed, on drugs and decapitating their baby sisters. (Source: Reaching out: South African school for girls born out of Oprah's need to "feel" a connection. (2007, January 2). The Chicago Sun-Times. Retrieved January 10, 2007.)
Perfect case in point: my cousin Jerry. He was the only one in our family who didn’t pursue a college education. Not only was he outcast from the family for his decision, but he soon turned to a life of collecting welfare checks, taking prescription medication and hiring cheap escorts to entertain him (which as some of you might not know, are actually hookers that are being taxed by the government). Now my cousin Jerry works in an OLIVE GARDEN restaurant for minimum wage. His life is wasting away and his prospects of ever being happy are quickly disappearing. I’ll be very surprised if his wife doesn’t leave him before the end of the year.
The fact that Oprah Winfrey opened her heart up to the children of Africa personally arouses my emotions. I think of underprivileged people like my cousin and then thank GOD that someone with power has enough love in her heart to do something about it. So imagine me, sitting naked in a bathtub and chomping on crackers, reading this terrible news item. According to UsMagazine.com the letter to the suspended students read “You have been found guilty of physical contact of a sexual nature with another pupil on campus, harassment, bullying other girls on campus and of being dishonest by not telling investigators the whole truth.”
I don’t know about you but this leaves a FISHY TASTE in my mouth. If you remember, in the year 2007 this school was scandalized by reports that a student was being sexually abused by a matron and being forced to have sex on her desk. Now suddenly I am disturbed by the DICHOTOMY happening between of Oprah Winfrey’s charitable efforts and wanton African schoolgirl lust. It paints a bad image of Oprah, Africa and education in general to the rest of the world. Why can we as a country not seem to separate teaching from sexual exploitation? Why I can almost see Oprah’s shining mug gritting her teeth in perverted sexual pleasure as she takes joy in seducing her young and sumptuous-bosomed students.
What happened to the Oprah that we know and love? What happened to O Magazine and beautiful sayings like “I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.” Now all Oprah will be remembered for is being “grateful” to her student body and making them make love to THEMSELVES.
I for one feel depressed over the whole situation. It makes me not want to write anymore. It makes me frown upon the entire educational system. The system that I once thought worked for me and helped me to reach my full potential. Nowadays, all I think about is just giving up writing and donating all my organs to science right here and now. Or become a cashier or a waiter in some BURGER JOINT. Yeah, let me work a nine to five job. Let me serve chicken wings and wear a hair net. And while you’re at it, why don’t you just SEVER my arms and legs and put the check in between my teeth?
Don’t you understand what I am saying? If we can’t look up to our educators and to our celebrity billionaires who single-handedly create schools, who can we look up to? This is the sort of disillusionment that makes otherwise smart people like President Obama become a deranged LUNATIC. This is the disillusionment that’s TEARING THIS COUNTRY APART. THIS IS WHY THE REST OF THE WORLD HATES US. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO CHANGE.
I have my own dream. I dream of a world where black people aren’t elevated above white people just because of their money. I dream of a world where students don’t have to fear being molested by Oprah Winfrey. I dream of a world where upper class Americans are happy and the poor go back to Mexico where they belong.
Just remember everybody, God exists and he is American. I’ll never stop believing that as long as I have red, white and blue in my veins.

I suggest you headline this article and perhaps build a theme issue around Oprah Winfrey. I'm thinking maybe articles on her charity works, sexuality or lack thereof, and whether or not she's gained weight. I'll check back in a few days to go over some legal information.
