Update: Ben Carson Explains How He Would Monitor Political Speech

Last Friday I wrote about Ben Carson essentially calling for the end of Freedom of Speech on campuses that receive federal funds. At the time, his thinking on how this would work was a little sketchy. A few days later, he cleared that up.

Update:

On Sunday, Mr. Carson appeared on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd who asked him if he really believed monitoring campus speech was a good idea and how he planned to make it work.

Ben Carson explained that he was "not just spouting off; I've thought about this...  The way that works is you invite students at the universities to send in their complaints, and then you investigate... It's not a violation of the First Amendment, because all I'm saying is taxpayer funding should not be used for propaganda.  It shouldn't be."

When Mr. Todd questioned how Mr. Carson's investigators would differentiate between propaganda and free speech, Mr. Carson said, "Well, that's why I said we're going to have the students send in.  And we will investigate."

what eye thynk:  Gee, thanks for clearing that up.

Ben Carson is known for playing loose and easy with Nazi metaphors. Amazingly, Mr. Carson seems to be totally unaware that asking students to turn in professors with whom they disagree is not unlike the Hitler Youth being expected to turn in their parents, their neighbors, or their friends for disagreeing with the Nazi mantra.  

Someone should really do a study of this man's brain.  The area that controls common sense seems to be malfunctioning.
