Reply #14: I know it isn't religious [View All]

Well,if it is an OU Sooners cap,some people in these parts might disagree,LOL.

But seriously,if the school dress code says no headgear,it should mean no headgear. I don't think it is fair to use religion to legitimize the wearing of one when the other is banned. It should be all or nothing.

Let's say,hypothetically,that a group of students actually DID found a religion,part of which was the wearing of baseball caps or whatever. would the government have the right to step in and declare one religion,for instance the Muslim or Sikh,to be a valid religion and the "Holy Order of Dale Earnhardt Disciples" not to be a valid religion. According to the First Amendment,I think not.

I am just very wary of setting the precedent of using religion to grant special priveleges.
