Controversial opinion: What RFK jr said here is what every Western person is taught in school. The West has systemically erased any non-European achievement from its literature. Going as far as to rename prominent Muslim scholars such as Ibn Sinna and Ibn Rushd and give them names like Avicenna or Averroes.
This is a way to indoctrinate studente of science by giving them the idea that all of modern science has originated from the West since all they see is Western names.
What RFK jr says here is not a failure of his own education. It is what he has been indoctrinated with by the Western education system.
Controversial opinions are supposed to be opinions, not claims of fact. And what you said isn’t true. RFK’s idiotic opinions don’t represent the country as a whole
The controversial part of my claim is that he does represent the country as a whole. This is what the education system teaches people in the West.
When you look up anything about scientific achievements on the internet it will all be about 1500s to 1700s Europe, completely disregarding the 900s to 1200s Islamic golden age in Iraq, where Europe kick started most of its scientific knowledge from. Famous European scholars such as Fibonacci studied math in Algeria under Arabic teachers. Who got most of their material from the house of knowledge in Baghdad Iraq, the worldwide center of science at the time. Now only known for fake WMDs and oil.
It is an insidious type of censorship where people are selectively informed when seeking information on science. They are only told about Western achievements. Thus they start thinking what RFK said because that is their logical conclusion.
Try looking up when science kicked off or about the biggest scientific achievements and it will talk about either ancient Greece in 500bc or about the 1500s and later unless you specifically start looking for it. Always Europe.

Did you have social studies growing up? I did, and I remember learning a slew of names that I didn’t have any idea how to pronounce.
We learned about discoveries that stemmed from various parts of the globe.
I can’t remember very much of it, because I preffered science and math classes in Junior high. This was in a small town in Texas too, in the 00s.
