Lets face it. Some kids are athletic enough to earn a varsity letter and some aren't. The big majority aren't. They have JV teams for those kids and they have as much fun and play as hard as the varsity players. They just aren't able to letter.
So, at a high school in KS they have a special needs basketball team for special needs kids. There's a Downs Syndrome kid on the team. His parents bought him a school letter that he didn't earn, and a jacket to put it on. Now the school won't let him wear it because he didn't earn the letter.
I know that these kids need all the encouragement they can get but he's still just another one of the vast majority who can't earn a letter. He's not special in that aspect. I don't think he should be able to wear it any more than the JV kids. If they want to create a special letter for them, that's fine, but a varsity letter has to be earned.
