Idland has a response to the Financial Post Passport critique of Oprah Winfrey's $40M Leadership Academy for Girls [1] in South Africa, “So next time you see someone with a Master's degree puffing out his chest and asking, “Aren't there better ways to spend 40 million dollars?”, take a step back and ask yourself, “Why are there only 40 million dollars, and why is it all coming from one person, and what does that tell us?” But if you ask those things out loud, don't puff out your chest, because there are too many people doing that as well.”
