High school student Michael Kelly loves to play basketball in his spare time and is an active team player on his school's special-needs team. His mother bought him a school letter jacket for his athletic endeavors, which Kelly wore with pride. But when the parent of a varsity basketball player at Wichita's East High School complained about the letter on Michael's sleeve, the school principal forced Kelly (who has Down syndrome) to remove his jacket [1] and don a girls' sweatshirt instead.

Because he is not a member of the varsity basketball team, the principal claims that Michael should not be wearing a basketball letter on his jacket. While it isn't a district-wide rule, Wichita East's administration stands by their decision regarding Michael's letter jacket — but what do you think? Should he have the right to wear a basketball letter because of his involvement with the special-needs team, or was Michael's school in the right?
