[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a prob. with taking the loan. It was financially prudent. [/quote]so it was a loan ? Has the school paid it back yet ? No they have not. Grifters will grift ![/quote]

It was a loan that the federal government later forgave. Are you familiar with the concept of loan forgiveness?

Here’s a list of other schools that accepted the money (this list is not exhaustive):

St. Andrew’s Episcopal School (while Trump’s child attended the school);
Landon;
Our Lady of Good Counsel;
Field;
Lowell;
Edmund Burke;
Gonzaga;
Georgetown Prep;
Bullis; 
Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School;

Sierra Canyon;(LA);
Brentwood School (LA);
Poly Prep Country Day (NY);
Columbia Grammar (NY);
Saint Ann’s (NY);
Packer Collegiate (NY);
Brooklyn Friends (NY);
United Nations International School (NY); and
Latin School (Chicago)

Every time I come across a post that attempts to single Sidwell out for accepting money that was legally offered to it, I’m going to repost this list. Not because I care about what you think of Sidwell. I just think others should know that Sidwell was not alone in making a financially prudent and legal decision. Sidwell was also one of the first schools to inform its school community (and the press) about its decision to accept the money, while other schools avoided discussing the matter publicly.

If you don’t like it, don’t send your children to Sidwell (as if that was even a possibility). [/quote]
