      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

      I'm not recommending more restrictions on religious ppl but extending the same rights & freedoms to non-religious people.

      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.

      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 Rather petty and outdated.

          I agree on the importance of discussing values w/o interposing constitutional law, but must differ on value of religion. YMMV

          You can certainly make it what you want to be. People always do.
