FROM FACTCHECK.ORG:
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says he would use the Department of Education to monitor “extreme political bias” on college campuses, but the example he has cited isn’t as clear-cut as Carson suggests.
Carson has mentioned a 2013 incident in which, he says, a student was disciplined for refusing to “stomp” on a piece of paper with the name “Jesus” written on it. That was the student’s side of the story.
