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 …
Really? You must know of conflict between Jews & Muslims? Violence in some areas?

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

Not suggesting forbidding it.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/835982075576582144 …

Traditionally, it's considered disrespectful to wear a hat indoors. Men are expected to remove hats indoors.
-
OK but that's just an expectation. People don't have to if its important to them to keep it on.
-
How are schools to judge whe/ that's a good enough reason? Requiring a note from religious leader removes subjectivity.
-
They don't. They decide certain perameters for smart headcovering & all students have the same freedom within it.

Theoretically possible but practically very hard to come up w/ objective standards, especially for boys

Not at all. We have uniforms here. They describe the range of shoes allowed & jewellery. Can do same with hats.

Yes, Moslem violence against Jewish kids is a problem, better solution is more police
-
In schools? Could that be the solution for gangs too? Rather than banning gang symbols? (Devil's advocate)
-
Well, big cities like NYC and LA have lots of cops in the schools, not the best atmosphere, but necessary to keep order.

Don't think too many parents would send kids to private schools b/c they can't wear favorite baseball cap
