      Is this not more about religious privilege than anything else? Is the problem not that they want to reserve headgear for one religion? https://twitter.com/LibyaLiberty/status/835932719280422915 …

      I realise this might be intended to make it a bit harder for Muslims - inconvenience of getting a note - but impossible for everyone else.

      Presumably, they also make exemptions for people wanting to wear other religious headgear.

          One reason would be the Constitution "privileges" religious practice.

          If you allow a broader exception for student likes/dislikes, you've eliminated the school's power entirely.

          Forbidding religious headgear in public schools would force religious parents to send children to private schools

          The reason is practical. People tend to put up more of a fight when the sensibilities offended are religious ones.

          But they seem to be arguing ethically & bringing up constitution as tho constitution synonymous with ethics.

          Hence the need to point out the difference. Pragmatism demands adapting to (or better—changing) laws to achieve ethical results.

          This used to be the case with some piercings and trousers for girls at schools I attended. Banned unless religion was involved.

          Agreed. We have difficulty removing religion from schools in the UK, and it seems to be getting worse.
