In a community meeting in a church in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Thursday, Joe Biden had something to say about the American educational system and how history is taught. Maybe he’s using the 1619 Project’s curriculum for his hypothetical history class, in which Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb.
“A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Tom Edison” — Biden just now.

We like the way he whispers it as if it’s some forbidden truth … which can be debunked by a 10-second Google search.

Steve Jobs invented the telephone. Well, close. He improved and upgraded the original design invented by A. G. Bell.

Or as the left would say, he was "mostly" correct.

Calm down. I was expecting this to be another public stroke. I'm shocked he was actually in the ballpark.

The fact-checkers are working overtime today — you can just feel it.
Wait, did he actually say that?

That’s because the U.S. history curriculum was born out of systemic racism.

I work at a public school, during black and women's history months they often put up posters with this type of disinformation based on a kernel of truth. It's always the white man taking credit for stuff a POC or woman has invented.

Claim – "Air conditioning"
Truth – "first person to patent putting air conditioning on an automobile"
Which is actually still cool, but they always take more than reality.

Whom does he think he’s helping beside himself by saying things like this, besides the Trump campaign’s ad team?
