I'm not being clear. Ppl are telling me that its easy to tell religious headgear from non-religous. I'm questioning why former is privileged
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.
-
Men's hats indoors are disrespectful. I'm willing to make narrow exception for religious conviction, not for fashion or style.
-
OK. I have no reason to respect that.It's largely arbitrary. I need some ethical justification why its OK for you but not you
-
Religion is a matter of conscience, and fashion/style are frivolous.
-
Other value systems are also a matter of conscience. Religions appear to be a bit silly, tbh. Rather petty and outdated.

So what is the important reason a student might have to keep a baseball hat on? Turned around with the bill in the back?
-
I don't know of any. If a school has a smart requirement, he could wear a smart hat if believed in covering the head.
-
I'm going to go back to tradition. Wearing a hat indoors is disrespectful + you need a good, respectful reason to do do.

So it would be OK for a Muslim to wear this in school but not a non-religious person?pic.twitter.com/wG3fMDfqFl
