In fact, while running for the White House in 2024, Kennedy did speak at length about “reparenting” American children on wellness farms, which he proposed building in rural communities across the U.S. Kennedy raised the idea during a podcast interview in June of 2024 and again during a separate podcast conversation in July.

At times during the interviews, Kennedy appeared to embrace the scheme as a way to help a wide range of kids harmed by street drug addiction and what he described as over-prescription of anxiety and depression medications.

But Kennedy also spoke specifically about his vision for Black children. After making the false claim that “every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence” Kennedy offered what he described as a solution.

“Those kids are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get reparented and live in a community,” he said.
