Carson Vows to Punish Liberal Colleges if He Can Steal the Job of Pretender

Carson wants to punish liberal colleges for teaching things he doesn't approve of - "extreme political bias" - otherwise known as facts.…

Carson has been pushing the meme that what he calls “political correctness” persecutes 'christians'. Now he has promised, if elected, to persecute liberals instead, the purveyors, he says, of that political correctness.

Appearing on The Glenn Beck Hate Radio Program, Carson was asked during a Q&A if he would do away with the Department of Education if elected. Carson’s answer was surprising. While he says he opposes national education standards, he really doesn’t, because he supports a set of standards that exclude what he calls “political correctness.”
Carson: “I actually have something I would use the Department of Education to do.”
Beck: “Would it be pack boxes for the State Department? The IRS?” (laughter).

Carson: “It would be to monitor our institutions of higher education for extreme political bias and deny funding if it exists.”
Beck: Well I like that.
You mean defund jokes like Liberty University, which positively rakes in our tax dollars while it functions as a propaganda institute? No, of course not! He’s talking about “political correctness” here.
Political correctness is a Carson euphemism for rejecting persecution by the religio-wingnuts and its Republican lapdogs. If you decline Carson’s anti-constitutional insistence that some values are more equal than others, for example, you are guilty of political correctness.
Free speech? No, if all religions are not equal before the law, as Carson claims (though the Constitution insists they are), then why should the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech extend to all?
After all, the religio-wingnuts have long been pushing the idea that it does not extend to some groups, like muslims, and even jews. This is a 'christian' country, they say, founded by and for 'christians'. Carson has already claimed that the Founding Fathers would reject a muslim president, even though they explicitly did accept the idea of a president of ANY religion.
Never mind any of that stuff the Founding Fathers actually said. We’ll just put new words in their mouths and David Barton can write all our “history” books.
It would seem Carson lost a “turn the other cheek” or two somewhere along the way. You would think if dog is telling him to run, he’d tell his candidate to read his bible first. You know, just because.
Even Thomas Jefferson, who had no time for miracles, admired jesus’ morality. Carson’s? Not so much, I think. The only way Carson gets Jefferson to agree with him is by putting words in his mouth, and he has shown he is perfectly willing to do that.
Carson, at every opportunity, shows himself to be a hater of all the ideals that make America unique in the world, of all the things the Founding Fathers held dear. In fact, by embracing the idea of muzzling free speech, Carson has shown himself to be less a lover of liberty than a lover of totalitarianism.
And here he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth at once.
He says he opposes Common Core right after revealing his plans for liberal colleges, because, you can be sure, of the Republican meme that the federal government, through Common Core, mandates what is taught. At the same time, Carson embraces the idea that the government should mandate what is taught by punishing them financially if they don’t teach Republican orthodoxy.
The problem is not, and has never been for conservatives like Carson, that Common Core mandates what is taught, but that it doesn’t mandate the right things, in other words, things like the idea that science is optional.
