The GRIFTER Huckabee is going into full coverup mode and resuming his pretense at being a conservative.
He is a shill for Jeb Bush and will do the dirty work if he can on Cruz and others.
His payoff is to be in with the GOP and a possible VP slot if Jeb gets in.
Well it was fine and conservative when Mitt did it so Huck will have no loss of voters for a flip flop.
Well, if Huck’s gonna split the conservative vote he’s gotta adopt the hot conservative positions.
1. Education has long been federalized in this country and pretending it isn’t is just sticking your head in the sand. Advocate abolishing it. Fine. But I doubt that ever happens.
2. Oh the horror. Kids will be held to specific standards in reading and math. If there is liberal nonsense mixed in, get rid of it. But so what about the standards. Federal money comes with strings. At least make those strings guarantee your money is graduating kids that have strong English and Math skills.
3. There are about a million problems with the public schools bigger than English and Math standards.
4. Huckabee shouldn’t flip flop. but on this one, I really don’t care.
The ballot box related activity sure does help with self governance, doesn’t it? No candidate seems to serve “We the People”.
I am not a Huck fan, but lots of other good folks have changed on Common Core, too. Oklahoma was one of the leading states in this movement with the goal of actually improving education at the State level with State guidance. But, once Common Core was hijacked by liberals and the feds, and then became a requirement for fed funds, Oklahoma led the retreat.
Lots of reasons to not support the Huck, but flip flopping on this one from 2013 to now might not be one of them.

Thanks huck - but you knew I wasn’t ever gonna vote for you no matter what - right?
Governor Huckabee is gaslighting voters. Just like Rand Paul and the other “Perot” type bs’ers.
Huckabee shouldn’t have quit his day job with Faux News.
One of the sleaziest politicians ever.
