The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie

A quick definition of dishonor:
Term: Dishonor
Definition: Dishonor means not honoring or paying a check or other payment method when it is presented for payment. A bank or financial institution can choose to dishonor a payment if there is a good reason, like fraud or the person who wrote the check doesn't have enough money. The bank must tell the person who presented the payment that it has been dishonored. If the bank doesn't have a good reason for dishonoring the payment, it has done something wrong and can be held responsible for any damages caused.
A more thorough explanation:
Dishonor is when a bank or financial institution refuses to pay an instrument, like a check, that is presented for payment or settlement. This can happen if there is a valid reason, such as fraud or forgery, or if the person who wrote the check doesn't have enough money in their account to cover it.
If a bank chooses to dishonor an instrument, they must give notice to the person who presented it. If the bank cannot provide a valid reason for dishonoring the instrument, they may be liable for damages.
Let's say you receive a check from a friend for $500. You deposit the check into your bank account, but a few days later, the bank tells you that they are dishonoring the check because your friend's account has been closed. The bank must give you notice of dishonor and explain why they are not paying the check.
Another example of dishonor could be if someone tries to cash a check that has been forged or altered. The bank may dishonor the check and refuse to pay it because it is not a valid instrument.
These examples illustrate how dishonor occurs when a bank or financial institution refuses to pay an instrument for a valid reason, and how they must provide notice to the person who presented the instrument.
