In a tweet Saturday, Kennedy said that the dinner conversation was supposed to be off the record and that he “never, ever suggested that the Covid-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews.” Rather, he said, he was referring to a study that “serves as a kind of proof of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons.”
So… “I didn’t say what I’m recorded on video saying, and no one was supposed to hear about me saying it”
(And also, the study he refers to is from 2020, and doesn’t really hold up to the real world)
That ol’ rotten chestnut’s been around for YEARS, but making it part of a curriculum…? 
Even worse…
Responding to the criticism, the department issued a statement Thursday offering 16 examples of historic figures it said fit that description. That they developed highly specialized abilities that helped them later in life is “factual and well documented,” the department stated.
Asked for more information Friday, it cited as references “The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution,” an 1895 book by William Cooper Nell, and “Encyclopedia of African American History 1619-1895,″ a 2006 book edited by Paul Finkelman.
But other sources offer conflicting descriptions of the 16 historic figures, and critics came forward to attack the department’s claims. Several argued that nearly half the figures highlighted by the state were never enslaved. Others, who did spend time in slavery, did not gain their skills from their servitude.
“They just threw out a bunch of names to make it seem like something good came of (slavery),” said Andrew Spar, president of the Florida Education Association teachers union. “The reality of it is, the facts don’t back up what they are saying.”
[edit:] Can’t vouch for this person’s research, but they did cite a lot of their work, which is more than Florida’s “experts” did. Link on the image goes to a twitter thread.
I just love how white people get to decide on this.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
A little further reading for anyone interested.
So they’re adding more palingenesis to their ultranationalism.
