While at uni I attended a discussion about decolonizing my mind to understand science. This woman explains how to better understand science from a non-biased perspective and explains that her people can send lightning to strike someone but I don't recall this info in physics courses. Can someone help me understand how this works?

If I went to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale would I have received a better education to understand these concepts?
