Not in my local library, but I do see there is a free downloadable PDF of that book on that page. (And not by error; it has a Creative Commons copyright that allows for free distribution.) It took me about three minutes to conclude it is Marxist garbage (the Table of Contents is your friend), and it gets to the core of (while I am a leftist) I am definitely not a Marxist. The guy’s theories of racism have nothing to do with it. In fact, I haven’t even read those parts of the book, so I am not qualified to comment on those aspects of it. Rather, it’s the crushing bureaucracy of his plan. He wants all his students to keep a gosh-darn fscking time sheet accounting for all the course work they do. I am just not into paperwork or bureaucracy. That already made me dislike college. I would never voluntarily be a student in one of this clown's classes. If I found I was, I would have dropped it and taken it via another section taught by another instructor. And then there is the whole work aspect. What happened to working smarter, not harder? Why should spending four hours on a term paper make the paper automatically better than spending two hours? What about taking a hike in the foothills above campus, getting a great idea, and then writing a paper? Because I spent an two hours hiking and two hours writing, I get a worse grade than someone who stayed cooped up at a desk with writer's block for two hours, then spent two hours cranking out a mediocre paper? Bureaucratic garbage, very USSR-esque. Or, very Corporate Capitalist-esque (big business can be as stiflingly bureaucratic as big government). Right out of workers pretending to look busy for the boss. He probably wants students to study for tests, too (and tracks this time, and grades on it). That is something else that never worked for me. Either I learned the material the first time, or I didn't. If I studied for a test, all it would do is create test anxiety which would impact my performance on test day. Better to goof off and see a movie the night before the big final exam. Eff that guy and his micromanaging bureaucratic ways. But the racial justice aspect of his ideas has nothing to do with it. -

April 2024 Weather in the PNW
Not so sure about that. That time frame for 2024 somewhat reflects the lingering winter pattern. The past month hasn't been as warm. Certainly not as warm as April 2010 was. You'd think if the anomaly pattern represented the "summer pattern establishing" it would be growing stronger as we get closer to summer, not weaker.
