Negative Positive
Title: "The Theology Department is Down the Hall"
Review: Think of four of the most orthodox Catholic colleges in the U.S. Okay, one of these - and I'm not naming it so that they don't get a diatribe - is so negative about this book, that when students have referenced it in class, the professors have responded drily, "We teach history here. The Theology Department is down the hall." I know this because my son graduated with a major in history from that school.When one parent complained to a long-distance learning school that was basing its American history curriculum on this "history" text - because, as the reviewer "David" notes, the entire chapter on World War II makes no mention of Jews - she was told by the director, "Well, lots of people have suffered. Look at the Irish - they've suffered." If that kind of reasoning as to why Jews should not be mentioned in a chapter on World War II makes sense to you, you may like this book.
