Refreshing, and very much aligned with how I think about the situation.

How far would you take this, "That means sharing and decentralizing those powers that we can, while adopting a strict commitment to value pluralism for those powers that we can’t."

For instance,

1. Universal ESAs in every state with no restriction on religious schools and their policies. Some would, for instance, strictly teach and enforce traditional marriage and gender roles as a norm. Is that included in a "strict commitment to value pluralism"?

2. Beyond schools to communities: Can opt in communities enforce traditional marriage and gender roles as a norm?

Many other edge cases possible, but these seem the most politically salient for now.
