It s a good thing the President of the AALS doesn t really matter to legal&

I ll just note, as an aside, that the idea at the conclusion of Dean Dickerson s letter that law schools should be transformed into anti-racist institutions [as distinct from being non-racist ones that comply with equal opportunity laws] would portend a massive violation of the academic freedom of all faculty (for example) just as transforming law schools into anti-communist or anti-capitalist institutions would. Law schools exist to train lawyers and produce knowledge about the law, not to promote extraneous social goals, even meritorious ones.
