Al-gebra anyone? An arabic word, used to work an arabic number system, to explore concepts mostly developed in Egypt (Alexandria)?
Greek science we only know because while Christianity spent centuries busily burning every book that wasn't the bible, Muslim societies preserved that ancient knowledge for us and passed it back when we stopped being so destructive?
Seriously, we've got enough real problems with discrimination in the classroom, we don't need people spouting this kind of nonsense in public.
ETA: Pardon my grumpiness, hit me where it hurts as we are dealing with some seriously nonsense proposals to fix access/ equity issues by taking everything away from everybody to make us all equal. 100 page report sounded a heck of a lot like that article.
