Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson has been floating some interesting plans for how he’d run the Department of Education should he – newly leading the GOP pack – ascend to the White House in 2016.

Unlike some of the other GOP presidential hopefuls, Carson wouldn’t shutter the department. Instead, he’s been saying, he’ll turn it into an investigatory body and use it to keep tabs on colleges and universities that may be espousing political biases.
