I'm all for giving those with a disability accommodations to ensure they receive equitable treatment, but buying you own bootleg varsity letter isn't in this category. If this was a case of some random kids being forced to remove varsity jackets they had bought it would not have made the news, the only reason it did is the person is disabled.

It was a letter on a jacket, big freaking deal.
Schools should focus on something a little more, y'know, education-related rather than a letter on a kids jacket. Losers.
