like the mom asking the coaches/school about giving him a letter and the being told no because it'll open up pandoras box with other kids expecting letters without earning them.

...and then she went out and bought him one, anyway. And now she's screaming to the hills about it, which was probably her plan all along.
again, the argument of fairness doesn't work here

1. kids need to learn that life isn't fair
2. try telling a child with DS that you need to make it fair for everyone. Whilst not even allowing him the opportunity to earn one.

to whatever dickhead took this kid's jacket, I cannot wait for him to scream how "unfair" it is that his life is ruined or come under strain because he enforced the rules.

The article sounds like he played special needs basketball, and he wasn't on the varsity team. If he was on the varsity team (manager, player, whatever) I bet the coach would have given him a jacket.

Do the kids who play flag football in PE, who aren't on the actual varsity team, get letter jackets, too?
