East Bay Times Letters to the Editor for July 21, 2023
Here’s an interesting exercise as you watch the new movie “Oppenheimer.” The looming AI crisis has a lot in common with the rush to weaponize atomic energy during WW II. The latter quickly and profoundly altered history, while the former promises to do the same.
Think about the cast of characters: Robert Oppenheimer, Louis Strauss, Leslie Groves, Albert Einstein, Hans Bethe, Niels Bohr, Ernest O. Lawrence, Werner Heisenberg, Klaus Fuchs, Vannevar Bush, Edward Teller, Enrico Fermi, Harry Truman and Henry Stimson, the roles they played, their conflicts and tensions, their hopes and fears.
Chemerinsky denounces the court because the court failed to “pay attention to the judgment of university educators that diversity in the classroom matters in education.” That is elitism writ large.

For that, we prefer people experienced with the law, Chemerinsky’s anecdotal reminiscing notwithstanding.
Naming an individual’s race in a college admission may be forbidden, but race can certainly be considered. In the oft-forgotten words in the majority opinion of the chief justice: “Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration or otherwise.
