HS makes student with Down syndrome and autism remove varsity letter

Discussion in 'Sports and News' started by SnarkShark, Mar 27, 2015.

  1. How many kids who don't earn or deserve a letter are going to want one?
    Honestly?

    Jesus, guys ...

    And the school system can try to spin it anyway it wants, but ... the kid was asked not to wear the jacket and the principal is on record backing up the school's position.

    If these letters are such precious commodities how is it that this kid's Mom was able to go to Boner's Sporting Goods and get one slapped on a jacket for $5?

    When I was in high school, it was common for girls to wear their boyfriend's letter jackets. Not sure if that still happens these days, but I wonder what the school's policy is on that.

    You're right. This would be a revolting country if we all had the right to wear a jacket that outwardly projects our interests. That's only for the cool kids.

    I'm assuming you feel the same way about dog tags, championship belts, and cowboy hats?

    You can have the fake wrestling championship belt on my desk when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

    Uh, yeah, actually, you can.

    Those to whom it really matters already know who 'deserves' to wear a varsity jacket.

    Nobody else cares.

    Nothing says high school like a 2-8 football team strutting around in letter jackets.
