Oprah Winfrey is in hot water yet again. After the humiliation of child abuse allegations at a school she set up in South Africa, she has now been unwittingly recommending children’s book written by a racist author on her website.

The talk show host has since pulled Forrest Carter's children's book The Education Of Little Tree from a list of recommended titles on her website, citing an "error" as the reason for including the work of a hardcore racist in the first place
 
When it was first published in the mid-1970’s, The Education Of Little Tree was described as the real-life story of an orphaned boy raised by his Cherokee grandparents.
 
But in the early 1990’s, the author of the award-winning book was ousted as leading member of American white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.
