Within hours of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting , Huckabee made headlines in the U.S. and abroad for stating on Fox News : " We ask why there is violence in our schools , but we have systematically removed God from our schools , " and further asked , " Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage ? " In September 2014 , Huckabee said , " Fire the ones who refuse to hear not only our hearts , but God 's heart " ( for which he was criticized by Richard Dawkins )
