n0 >> Halachah has to rise above whatever we want the outcome to be.
I don’t understand Rav Solovietchik that he does not trust the process, or does not want to participate, or hopes to convince anyone. I read it that he is making a pragmatic decision not to become a target if the issue is not practical. If the question would be of actual value to some Jewish kids, he would not be afraid of talking a position. [important contrast to some educators that told me that they would not do a right thing for our kids because of concern for the school or “others would ask for the same thing”].
