The wearing of VISIBLE religious paraphernalia is a silent way of proclaiming "I believe in this particular faith and I think it is the right one and the only one and therefore anyone who does not have the same faith is an unbeliever."
That isn't true and its a strawman. Wearing religious paraphenalia might say in a silent way "I believe in a particular faith" but that's it. It can be argued that it is more a cultural display (like wearing a kufa or tribal jewelry) than a religious display. Drawing the line between cultural and religious displays you are in for a heap of problems unless you go all-out nazi and force school uniforms and dress codes on everybody.
