	Dunce cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dunce cap, also variously known as a dunce hat, dunce's cap, or dunce's hat, is a pointy hat.
		In popular culture, it is typically made of paper and often marked with a D or the word "dunce", and given to schoolchildren to wear as punishment by public humiliation for stupid or lazy behavior.
		In NetHack, the dunce cap is one of two types of conical hats, the other being the cornuthaum.

	Dunce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word is derived from the name of the great schoolman, John Duns Scotus, whose works on logic, theology and philosophy were accepted textbooks in the universities from the 14th century.
		When, in the 16th century, the Scotists obstinately opposed the new learning, the term duns or dunce became, in the mouths of the humanists and reformers, a term of abuse, a synonym for one incapable of scholarship.
		Dunces are often comedically shown wearing paper cone hats, known as dunce caps, with the word "dunce" or "dumb" on them.

	The Straight Dope Mailbag: The Straight Dope Mailbag: What's the origin of the dunce cap?
		You know, when I was just a little 'un, my mom told me a story about a school of monks who lost an "intellectual battle." She said they wore "dunce caps" and that''s why they are considered a symbol of stupidity.
		The "dunce cap," and the word "dunce" itself, comes from one man: John Duns Scotus, or "the Subtle Doctor," born in 1266 in Duns, Scotland (hence his name).
		Once humanism gained the upper hand, Duns Scotus's teachings were despised and the "dunce cap" became identified with ignorance rather than learning.

	The Hagadah: Story of a People in flux
		Of note, in these medieval Hagadahs, is the fact that the Jews portrayed are all wearing "Jew hats." The Church forced the Jews to wear ludicrous looking hats as a penance and punishment for their obstinate refusal to renounce Judaism and accept Christianity.
		These hats, some formed like a dunce cap or having a ridiculous ball tied to them, were instead converted by the Jews into a badge of pride to their loyalty to Torah and the G-d of Israel.
		As you may have noticed, many Jews still have a penchant for wearing strange hats, a practice which the general non-Jewish society in the Western world has long ago abandoned.
