Revisionism is the re-examination of previously determined historical data to determine whether it is false and the attempt to change people's opinions of the facts. While this is possible in some areas of history, such as events that occurred before written history, some topics should simply be left aside. The Holocaust is an event that many have attempted to revise but none have really succeeded in. James Keegstra attempted to teach his students his revised version of the Holocaust in his school classes and encountered legal repercussions. The Keegstra affair, which took place in 1990, was a court case held before the Supreme Court of Canada due to anti-Semitic statements and Holocaust denial within a school system. James Keegstra, a high school teacher at the time of the affair, was accused of making anti-Semitic statements and denied that the Holocaust was a plan to kill all Jews. He taught his students that gas chambers were actually used to disinfect contaminated clothing and bedding. . He was also accused of trying to stir up hatred among his students toward Jewish people. James Keegstra was a well-known and respected man in his town. He taught social studies, mathematics and law to junior and senior high school students (Bowal). He taught his version of what happened during the Holocaust in his social studies classes and taught how he believed Jews controlled the economy in his law classes (Bowal). When news of Keegstra's teaching reached the school board, they immediately took action, telling him that he had to stop teaching his students his version of Jewish society and the Holocaust or else he would would have consequences (Bowal). Keegstra ignored the board's warning and his position as a teacher...... middle of paper...... It already happened to Jim Keegstra. The law now. Np, July 1, 2012. Web.
