My daughter, a graduate student in history, had a mixed undergrad/grad class on "Revisionist Histories," revisionist history of this, revisionist history of that, all in the mode of Howard Zinn's "A Proctologist's History of the United States." Then came the Holocaust. One reading was about male concentration camp inmates oppressing female concentration camp inmates. "For some reason," however, that unit alone was not referred to as "revisionist" history, but by some synonym. My daughter had the temerity to calmly and rationally (she says) point out the discrepancy to the professor, whereupon the professor simply lost his mind, responding basically with Thunberg-style "How Dare You!!". After the class, several students approached her and thanked her.

Don't we all love the smug self-righteousness of Greta. The gift that keeps on giving.
