A struggling school in Atlanta just got helped out big time by Oprah, who donated $1.5million to them according to the Associated Press:
A private middle school in inner-city Atlanta has received $1.5 million from Oprah Winfrey.
The Ron Clark Academy announced the donation Thursday. The innovative school has struggled to raise money this year amid the sagging economy to pay for its $2.8 million operating budget, which is bankrolled almost entirely by donors.

While this may seem like a nice gesture, it isn't for two reasons. 1) $1.5 million to Oprah is like 8 cents to normal people, and 2) now the other private schools think Oprah doesn't love them. That's not good because these types of schools rank Oprah just above Jesus on their list of helpful deities. And everyone has a list of helpful deities.
