re: Special Needs Student Told To Remove His Varsity Letter

This is a real, real slippery slope.
On hand, yeah the school looks like a bunch of dickheads. But at the same time, the student in question didn't actually earn a varsity letter. NEvermind the fact he is special needs, that's not really the point. What if they relaxed the rules in this one case, then everyone in the school who plays rec basketball bought a varsity letter too? And the kids who play rec soccer, and kids who golf on the weekends, etc. Damn near the whole school would have a letter.
I guess my point is, in this ONE case...yeah the school sucks. But I can see this opening up the floodgates.

To this I also say, who cares? It's a letter earned for participating. All of the above would be participants in activities.

Spoiler alert- this is already the case in high schools
