Well, it's nice at least that you recognize this for what it is - a power grab by the left to seize control of a powerful and influential industry with which they can impose their agenda on everyone else. I don't agree, however, with your statement "Society owes equal opportunity (minimally) and representation (ideally) to all of its constituents into the halls of power". This is an industry. Nobody is owed equal representation in every field of employment. They have to earn it the same as everyone else or you're playing favorites, and since it's a zero-sum game, by doing so you put another group at a disadvantage.
