This looks to be a joke but Helen Keller denialism isn't really new. People have speculated (almost certainly incorrectly) that Anne Sullivan, Helen's teacher/companion, was actually behind all of Helen's accomplishments and that Helen wasn't actually capable of communication at all for quite a while.
Just plain old ableism. Keller was quite accomplished and they can't accept that someone with her disability was capable.
Those people are not bright.
I was going to call them dumb, but.
Anyways, one of the reasons they chose Keller for this conspiracy is her role in founding the NAACP and in helping black women get access to contraception.
