Answer:
It is not true that historians have the freedom to omit parts of evidence that they do not agree with.
Explanation:
Historians are academic professionals whose job is to collect events that occurred in the past, interpret them, and explain their development and consequences, including making connections between those events in the past and events in the present.
For this reason, historians cannot suppress content or events with which they do not agree, because if they did, they would be modifying the course of events and, therefore, reproducing an account of the events that would not coincide with reality.
