I'm assuming you are talking about Baseball caps, the main reason is gang affiliation. While wearing a Pittsburg Pirates hat may seem harmless, their colors are Black and Gold....which are gang colors. Same goes for any team who's colors are black and red or blue. The list of gang colors and combinations are endless. With that being said, obviously not everyone who wears a hat is a gang member, which is why most schools ban them. They don't want someone to be wearing their favorite team's hat (or jersey's in most schools) and accidentally be mistaken as a gang member and be harmed. So basically they do it for your protection.

One other reason is that now days most schools have video cameras to record any issues, especially violence. If someone, or a group of people are beating up another individual or destroying school property, they want to be able to identify them, if those kids were wearing hats this would be a lot harder to do.
