One of the things that defines our society--one of the main things--is that we have all agreed to one set of laws and rules--to be applied equally and without favor or prejudice to each and every citizen. No exceptions, no "case-making", no special allowances or privileges. Every increase in "exceptionalism" is a decrease in what makes our society a living entity. If some people don't have to send their children to school; if some people are allowed to smoke peyote; if some people aren't required to have a photograph on their driver's licenses; if some people are allowed to run casinos; if some people are allowed to use speech that differs from that allowed others--it all chips away at the structure of our society.
Suggestion--we need a set of laws and rules that apply to everyone-no exceptions. If everyone can't live with it, maybe we need a new rule--one that everyone can live with.
