's The Right to Exit Religion argues Wisconsin v. Yoder implicitly recognized a right to exit religion that states/courts do not do enough to protect, leaving it superficial & hard to effectuate. He uses NYCās Hasidic community to show state-aided barriers to exit.

Todayās WaPo opinion page strikes a conciliatory tone with columns by
@shadihamid.bsky.social
