[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard for me to believe it won't have an impact.  I went to a coed Jesuit high school (not metro DC area), and I have to say it's affected my support of the school.  I've been getting calls about attending an upcoming fundraising event, and right now I just can't bring myself to financially support a Jesuit, Catholic institution.  I suspect this is not an uncommon feeling, as based on the frequency of the calls I think attendance and support must be down overall.[/quote]

So you aren't supporting your non-DC coed Jesuit high school because of what happened in the 80s at Georgetown Prep?  You know that sounds ridiculous right?

That is like saying you won't send a kid to a Big Ten school because of what happened at Penn State.  Zero logic.[/quote]

The letter written by the current head of Georgetown Prep was a big turnoff, actually, with the talk of being elite. If that’s the current attitude of the order, that’s an issue for me.[/quote]
