Ultimate Trickster Ben Carson Claims He Was Named "Most Honest" Student in Yale Class That Didn't Exist
"One of them involves him being crowned the “most honest” student in the land.
The Republican presidential candidate told the story of an elaborate hoax in his 1990 autobiography, “Gifted Hands.” Carson described a Yale psychology professor who told students that all of their final exam papers had accidentally caught on fire, and that they must all re-take the new, much harder exam. According to Carson, a junior at the time of the story, all 150 students refused but one. That one was the chosen one, the honest one: a young Ben Carson.
“The professor came toward me. With her was a photographer for the Yale Daily News who paused and snapped my picture. ‘A hoax,’ the teacher said. ‘We wanted to see who was the most honest student in the class.’”
The class, according to Carson, was called Perceptions 301. The Yale Library confirmed to Wall Street Journal that no such class existed during Carson’s tenure at Yale, and the photo that Carson claims was taken of the incident cannot be found.
Perhaps, though, this was a double-hoax, and we have all been out-hoaxed by the ultimate hoaxman himself: Ben Carson."
Retaking a test has what to do with honesty?
