No, no it wasn't. If there's an opportunity to make your special needs kid happy, and you have to break an unimportant regulation to do so, then I'd hope any parent would go with the kid over petty rules every time.
What greater good is going to be accomplished by enforcement? Are kids on the varsity team going to be thinking "Aww, if I'd only been born special needs I could've skated on the requirements for that letter!" It's high school, not real life, and if you're going to teach teenagers something, let it be to have empathy for those who aren't as lucky as you are rather than how to exclude and marginalize others by ratting them out to little dictators.
