So wait...

If the school allows you to wear hats because of your religion, am I therefore allowed to wear a pirate hat to school as part of my worship of the great Flying Spaghetti Monster?

//chuckles// Sor, if that was the case, I'd be allowed to wear my cosplay stuff. I'm an autotheist.

Only because there are enough wiseass British nerds to make it a write-in thing on a survey that went around. There aren't any actual churches or what have you.

No... schools are beurocratic, but not THAT beurocratic.
Actually, it's not so much beurocracy as it is just plain old oldfashionedness, and not the cool kind.
I'm surprized they don't still make the girls sit on the other end of the room then the boys!

Your school allows you to wear religious hats?

I always thought it was supposed to be an all-or-none sort of thing.

DC would let us wear hats outside of class, so long as they met dress code standards (not advertising beer or the like. I had to censor my 'Boot in your ass' hat)

San Juan had a similar thing. I remember one teacher telling us that it's actually rude for girls to remove their hats indoors, although she didn't enforce that for the sake of fairness.

I think the only school I went to where you weren't allowed to wear hats at all was Will Rogers (middle school) and that was because we had uniforms there.

We are not allowed to have hats on in school. Presumable this is because of some sort of negative factor of hat-wearing (such as it being distracting).

But we are allowed to wear hats on certain days leading up to important football games.

This would suggest that we normally don't get hats because they're just anal retentive bastards.

See George Carlin's commentary on Catholicism and eating meat on Fridays.

Coyle school almost banned hats because they can transmit lice.

On those hat-allowed days, are you only allowed team baseball caps, or can you wear any hat of any shape?

Any hats. They even have "themed" days where you wear cowboy hats, big hats, whatever.

Nobody gets to wear hats at all (unless it's one of the special occasions, like Spirit Week, school spirit days, religiouscommercial holidays like Christmas or VDay, your birthday [as long as it's a birthday hat], Special Dispensation Days, you're performing in something [whether a play or just a presentation], it's for an athletic team, your name is Fred, or you're human, at the discretion of the admininstration).

It's "religious headgear," meaning yarmukahs (sp? and am I thinking of the right word?) or scarves and the like. My guess is that it would have to be a "mainstream" religion anyway.
