This is all wrong! All messed Up! Where is the heart of Jesus? This story makes me mad….then sad….it breaks my heart! …….Let us pray that this decision is reversed! In Jesus name Amen!
A Kansas boy who plays on his high school’s special needs basketball team has been told he can’t wear a varsity letter jacket because he isn’t a varsity athlete.
Wichita East High says a rule is a rule which means Michael Kelley, the boy with Down’s Syndrome and autism, has to leave his precious letter jacket at home.
“Another parent, from what I had been told, was upset that my son was wearing his jacket,” Jolinda Kelley told KSN-TV Friday.
Kelley told the station her adopted son is a one-of-a-kind kid who loves to play basketball.
She bought him a varsity letter that is the same as the one worn by East High’s varsity basketball team that just won the state championship.
Kelley said Michael was told he couldn’t wear his letter jacket and was given a girl’s sweatshirt to wear instead.
“Teachers told the parents they would prefer he not wear the letter on his jacket,“ East High principal Ken Thiessen told KSN.
