An Open Letter To Dress Codes

Most school dress codes don't allow hats/head coverings during class to increase student retention. This works for most children, but Jewish men tend to wear a kippah/yarmulke/skullcap because it is considered a sign of devoutness, women often wear head scarves or hats for the same reason- Wearing these head garments is said to keep a separation between god and man, reminding Jews that they are under god. Dress code policies against headwear and facial coverings make it diffucult for many religions to feel represented, including Judaism.
