Since this article is about 6 months old who stirred the hornet's nest regarding this issue?

“It’s disturbing to me there have been criticisms of these standards directed by other conservatives,” he said. “I’ve heard the argument these standards ‘threaten local control’ of what’s being taught in Oklahoma classrooms. Speaking from one conservative to another, let me assure you this simply is not true … They’re not something to be afraid of; indeed they are something to embrace.”

Has the letter been published? Does he give anything other than "you can trust me on this"? 'Cause, sorry Huck, nope!

Very minor issue compared to his massive support for tax and spending increases. Perhaps there isn't Democratic governor that he isn't more fiscally liberal than. He is the opposite of a libertarian as he is fiscally liberal and socially conservative. He is much worse then even Christie, fiscally. On the Nolan Chart, he would be near the tip on the bottom.

Huckabee did by quitting his Fox gig and apparently making moves for another POTUS run.

He is the opposite of a libertarian as he is fiscally liberal and socially conservative.

Any definition of "libertarian" that includes being socially liberal is a bad definition.

Fair enough, it is possible for someone to a a social conservative in their views and still be pro-liberty but I think Huckabee, based on his voting record, it even worse than Obama.

Did he quit his TV show on Fox?

I think so. People here have been talking about it anyway. Others know more than I do.

No one here knows. You'll have to search for it on Google.

this unequivocally demonstrates what camp this guy is in.. sold his soul a while ago.

I'm actually kind of relieved to see this. I never watched his show, but I was kind of thinking that he was trying to position himself more to the right. Having something this recent and this bad will be good for us.

I did. All I found was that he quit his radio show.
