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.

Why? What's the magic ingredient religious values have over secular ones?

schools can't always decide what's a gang problem so they just generally ban headgear

It is arbitrary. Some countries consider religious symbols in a very similar way to gang/tribal symbols.

I was thinking of France. No religious symbols allowed in schools. Even very long skirts seen as religious symbol.

Yes, France is very different from US. I guess we have more respect for individual conscience.
