Yes they should be banned, especially if its a non-denominational school
Personally I am always miffed by this, why is it wrong, disrespectful, silly for someone to were a hat to school however wearing a head scarf is allowed? The British passport scheme disallows people from wearing head scarves if it is not for a religious reason, now what if I was a member of the 4th Day Chavists (a group I just made up who believe that Burberry is the work of God and that weaing a baseball hat is a sign of respect) and want to wear my baseball cap? I am likely to be turned down...
I think we need to start applying things fairly, either we allow people to be equal or we stop pretending that we are making everyone equal and admit that discrimination occurs.
