SO, WHO IS MIKE
HUCKABEE?

The surfacing action of Huckabee to start “putting out feelers” as to his
presidential electability is certainly an issue to look at with his involvement
with Jeb Bush and Huckabee’s support of the Common Core Standards and now –
doing a total turn around on his national weekly Fox show.

It appears that Huckabee is better suited to politics than being a man of the
cloth. Ministers are to be held to a higher standard – I am not saying it is
right, but it just goes with the occupation or calling. Huckabee is a player of
words and I would put him into the new class of “New World Evangelists” who
refuse to address the direction our country is taking to ruination.

He is a lot like Rick Warren having even attended seminary at the same time and
the same place as Warren.

We now know that his speech to the Council
of State School Officers (CCSSO) was worded very differently than his
announcement on his Fox
show. Not only that, it appears the governor has also learned “double
speak” lately.

At the CCSSO meetingHuckabee urged state education officials to get rid of the
“Common Core” name because it has become “toxic.” Hum! However, Huckabee
intends to continue to support the standards and it would appear this is the
case as he is still listed on Jeb Bush’s Common Core site as a supporter. And –
why was Huckabee invited to speak to the CCSSO?

“Rebrand it, refocus it, but don’t retreat,” Huckabee reportedly told CCSSO
members. This of course is what some states are doing especially Florida.
Florida lawmakers, Governor Scoot and Commissioner of Education Stewart have
all said they want to delete “Common Core” from official documents and replace
it with the friendly sounding “Next Generation Sunshine State Standards.”
Supposedly by changing the name of the standards everyone will forget they are
the grandfather of the Common Core and the complete ruination of our children’s
education.

In Florida, the Sunshine State Standards, adopted in 1996 became the Common
Core State Standards in 2010.

This past November, Joe Follick a spokesman for the FL Dept. of Education
stated, “Given the input that the state has taken and the changes that are
likely to be made, “it would be disingenuous to call them common core
standards”.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) used an executive order to strip the name “Common
Core” from the state’s new math and reading standards for public schools. In
Iowa, the same standards are now called “The Iowa Core.”

Tea Party members and others have argued that the standards amount to a federal
intrusion in education, while supporters have tried to make the resistors
believe that the development of the standards was spearheaded by governors and
education officials.

Just the fact the president and Arne Duncan were ready and waiting on the
sidelines with Race To The Top (RTTT) grants to the states shows the Federal
intrusion. The grants from RTTT pushed the states to agree to share all their
information on our children, their families and the teachers to the huge data
mining system. All of this done BEFORE the standards were written and without
any state legislation being passed authorizing it.

Back to good ole Huckabee! In June, 2013 Huckabee came out swinging in defense
of the CCS. He sent a letter to lawmakers in Oklahoma, urging them to support
Common Core.“Like many of you, I’ve heard the argument these standards
‘threaten local control’ of what’s being taught in Oklahoma classrooms,”
Huckabee wrote. “Speaking from one conservative to another let me assure you
this simply is not true. States and local school districts will determine how
they want to teach kids, what curriculum to use, and which textbooks to use.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all
the time. Huckabee is no conservative. His gubernatorial record shows that.

His lack of understanding the full scope of this “infection”– standards are to
be used as the goals to reach and the curriculum is what is used to gain those
goals is irresponsible. With the likes of Pearson and every Tom, Dick and Harry
company out there writing curriculum to align with the standards For Profit –
there is no escape from this but total elimination.

All of Huckabee’s remarks are like a playbook
from Jeb Bush’s Foundation.

We can ask the question why did Huckabee choose to agree with the likes of Jeb
Bush and his cronies rather than the American parents who had bothered to do
their research! Why did he choose to ignore people like Professor’s Sandra
Stotsky and James Milgram, but instead decided to follow the like-minded
support of David Coleman, Linda Darling-Hammond, Bill Ayers, George Soros and
Jeb Bush types?

This causes one to wonder what Huckabee got for his initial support of the CCS
and now apparent continued support! Backers for a presidential run, monetary?
He certainly could have done his own research!

Huckabee’s “epiphany” mirrors that of others who have suddenly realized that it
was not just a few unimportant people who are concerned about CCS; but instead,
the parents and taxpayers of America, from all parties, no parties, no
particular occupations or races – but our nation as a whole realizing the
danger of having the Obama administration indoctrinate our children into the
social justice agenda through Common Core Standards – using our children as
“Human Capital” to become involved in public-private partnerships is not only
despicable, but Progressive to Socialistic.

The selfish and inconsiderate support of this planned damage against our
children cannot be explained or excused – now or in the future! We are talking
about a former governor here that supported Bill Clinton’s “School-To-Work
Act”. He also appears to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Put your money away boys – you will not win this battle! Parents will!
