BAD History

The Rearranged-History Institute has a mission: re-frame the past. It should never have happened. A new breed of graduating historians is committed to pretending it didn't, or at least that it happened differently. Committed to equity, inclusion and diversity they are intersectionally dedicated to authenticating new heroes. The old ones will have their statues knocked down.

Statistical data, historical records, documented research, archives, eye-witness accounts by participants at historical events ... these sources are deemed untrustworthy, for they reveal history outside the correct narrative, history that doesn't obey ideological instructions. (BAD History! "Marginalized" groups are very angry with you. They think you hate them, so they consider you Hate-History.)

"We have ways of re-arranging you", they warn. So take cover, History. But take heart -- in a generation or two the re-discovery of your hiding places will launch a thousand new PhD papers. History is nothing if not cyclical.
