Replacing Margaret Spellings: Clay Aiken
Huckabee surging in Iowa. What’s his K-12 look like? Voila. Usual Republicanisms of choice + states rights + fire bad people, with twist: MEGA props to art and music education. Nice stroke. Humanizing.

But, he says, there are a few promising ones (West Point for teachers; Virtual Learning Innovation Fund; vouchers for active-duty military; voluntary national standards; tax credit for home schoolers).

With funding from State Farm, Aiken is also developing a K-12 curriculum through his BubelAiken Foundation for inclusion of Special Needs students into classrooms with typical children.

HHS stands for Dept. of Health and Human services.
