Just food for thought. It's not always about etiquette.
if they're worried about knives hidden under a hat, or in hair, I'm sure the metal detector would pick it up.
Some schools, like the one I went to, don't have metal detectors...
Also, to put my two cents in, the hijabs can be worn the day I'm allowed to wear my fedora to school. Otherwise, it's not fair.
If they're so worried about weapons, enough to ban hats because of them, then they'd have a metal detector. I suspect the whole "there might be weapons on your head" argument is a farce.
