WHY IS NIKOLA TESLA STILL NOT TAUGHT IN HISTORY CLASS?

The most important figure in scientific history is not mentioned in classrooms of America, the same country where he performed his miraculous works.
American textbooks teach about the cotton gin, trains, and give mention to Thomas Edison. But when it comes to the inventor of remote control, wireless communication, radio, and even basic access to electricity—young Americans are left with no clue as to the name of the super-genius who created the foundation for modern life.
Students might instead learn about Nikola Tesla in an episode of Ancient Aliens. They will consume videos on Youtube filled with UFO, telekinesis, and conspiracy theories. That’s if they even learn about Tesla at all.
For a long time, there was an air of suspicion around anyone who mentioned his name. Was there really a person who did all these things? Until recently, most people agreed his story isn’t worth looking into, and his feats greatly exaggerated. For decades there was almost nowhere to even find credible information about the scientist.
Tesla transformed the entire world by his work in the 1890s, but the first major documentary about him in American media was not published until the year 2000 by PBS.
The delayed effect for his recognition is still ongoing.
Almost 20 years after this PBS documentary, Western legacy media finally began to notice Nikola Tesla, as recent years have seen dozens of stories about a forgotten immigrant supergenius who invented the foundation for most of our technology.
Per CNN in 2019:
“History often touts Italian entrepreneur Guglielmo Marconi as the inventor of radio. But sometimes history is wrong.”

As Tesla is rapidly making his return, why is the most exemplary story of American history still left out of our classrooms?
AN UPHILL BATTLE FOR TESLA:
To help solve this problem, one author has offered the text of his new book for FREE to any teacher who wishes to use it for a reading assignment. History comes to life in this storytelling masterpiece, and it was created by an expert:
The author, a small independent artist based in New York City, was interviewed by AAP Fact Check (Australian Associated Press) which is one of the oldest and most reputable fact-checking institutions in the world. The 200 page thriller not only gives the reader a deep appreciation for Tesla's work, but it shows a forgotten and misunderstood side of his humanity. While not free to the general public, the author offers the text for FREE to any teachers who request it.
