i can completely understand the bannination of some forms of headwear in schools. take my two high school experiences... my freshman year was at a school that was halfway inbetween an 'innercity school' and suburb school as far the kids that attended were concerned. (not referring to color, but many of the students had either moved from detroit or emulated those students). we were not allowed to wear hats of any sort inthat school although yalmukas would have been alright. gangs were definatly a realistic issue there. but after i moved, we were a whitebred middle upper class school that had more indians than black students. and hats of any kind were allowed to be worn (also, bags were allowed in class at the new school, but not old).
i personally think that if headwear has a religious reason then it should be fine. but hats in general, or any dress code for that matter, is okay as long as it doesn't violate someones right to practice their religion.
