That's the point though, how does the school/court know how serious your 
religion is.  How do they tell between someone like me who just says it for 
the sake of it to get something their way, or for other people who really 
are serious about it?

I'm not saying the boy in the OP is not serious about his religion, but 
suppose he wasn't and just wanted to wear his long hair to school to be 
cool?  He's managed to get a court to order a school to change its rules 
just by mentioning the R word.  Should that be allowed?
