Yes, he really said that. No, this isn’t a Halloween spoof. Hear him say it on this video (the relevant segment begins at 3:25) and/or read the story here. Carson says he’ll repurpose the Department of Education to monitor what university professors teach and deny federal funding to “biased” institutions. Presumably this includes virtually all science being taught in universities, because Carson believes the world was created in six days, the Big Bang Theory is a “fairytale,” and evolution is the work of Satan.
