This is true but making the conclusion that this is an intentional deception by school planners is a big stretch. People remember the charismatic and presentable figures from history. Tesla didn’t have the people skills to become memorable. A lot of people remember Steve Jobs and Henry Ford because they presented themselves well and became memorable. They weren’t the real inventors. I think we need to be careful with how we interpret information. Government and feds have a lot of influence but they don’t control everything.

Steve Jobs didn't create anything, he had a farm of humans telling them to create, and then he took all the credit.
So did Henry ford. And yet, he gets all the credit for being a genius. I’m just giving you these examples to show that sometimes the most famous historical figures were the most likable. And the people doing the heavy lifting behind closed doors are forgotten because they lack the social/marketing skills like Tesla.
