Huckabee's Upcoming Union Endorsement

Education Monopoly Loves Huckabee


Washington - When it comes to education policy, Mike Huckabee looks more like Hillary Clinton than a conservative Republican. Apparently, the National Education Association agrees. Today, Mike Huckabee will receive the recommendation of the New Hampshire affiliate of the National Education Association along with Democrat Hillary Clinton in their respective presidential primaries.

“No doubt, the NEA’s endorsement has something to do with Huckabee’s opposition to private school choice and his support for a federally mandated and funded arts and music curriculum,” said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey. “Like Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee puts the interests of a labor union ahead of children’s education.”

“In contrast, the other major Republican candidates support school choice as an important step towards achieving a competitive education system that will give parents the freedom to choose which school best suits their children’s needs. While Huckabee claims he is an economic conservative, he is aligning himself with those who oppose competition and choice.”
