I'm of mixed feelings about its efficacy.  As long as people have pockets this will have a limited impact.  It's been awhile, but I'm sure I would have hated such a policy when I was in HS.  My senior year they implements a no hat that wasn't a school hate policy.  I tried to circumvent it by wearing a Pirates hat (our school name started with a P) and was immediately swooped in on.  I thought it was dumb as hell to make a policy about it.  Of course, getting older and doing what I do I know it was done due to gangs using sports hats, and others, to identify themselves.  As school officials couldn't tell, or even be able to accuse, they implemented the hat policy.

It absolutely could.  It's a good thing that several amendments address this topic, although none in a precisely direct manner, thus preventing the government from enacting such a law.  Some constitutional liberties are suspended at certain locations, and schools have been determined to be such a location.  Thank goodness for our constitutional rights, (all of them!) otherwise I'm very confident a law of the type you allude to would have been proposed in some jurisdiction by now.
