Huckabee's Education

A reader writes:

I’m a moderate-to-liberal Democrat who is no Mike Huckabee fan, but for what it’s worth, he wasn’t educated at a “Bible college”. Ouachita Baptist University is a Baptist institution in the same way that, say, Catholic University in Washington is a Catholic institution. The denominational footprint is undoubtedly heavier at the former than at the latter, but OBU’s curriculum isn’t all about careers in ministry or even about molding warriors for Jesus. There are a lot of similar schools in the heartland – Gordon College in Wenham also fits the bill – that, like Huckabee himself, wear their conservative denominational (or non-denominational Christian) heart on their sleeve but also seem a bit more at ease with the modern world than bubble-world schools like Bob Jones University or Oral Roberts.  I suspect that they may provide a window into what his core support is all about.
