One little known policy proposal of Gov. Huckabee is to insure arts education in schools. I like that very much.
Unfortunately, in my book, Huckabee has also been the only governor who actually tightened restrictions for homeschooling families after campaigning as pro-homeschooling.
We need to be careful to understand what is meant by the term 'education' in political discourse. Does Gov. Huckabee propose an introduction to all of reality through learning about and making art? From what I've seen with arts eduction in schools is that art is generally taught as a series of techniques for producing creative works.
