Cynthia Halverson: A Biblical Approach to Education in D20 School Board Race

Cynthia Halverson has entered the race for the D20 School Board, bringing a unique perspective grounded in Biblical principles. As the last candidate to declare, Halverson joins the race as the fourth conservative contender vying for one of the three available vacancies.

Halverson’s campaign is centered on the belief that parents have complete authority over their children. She draws inspiration from Benjamin Rush, a Founding Father often referred to as the “Father of Education.” Rush’s remarkable academic achievements—he attended college at the age of 12 and graduated at 14, later opening a medical practice at 23 and serving as the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army—underscore the importance of a strong educational foundation. Raised on reading the Bible, Rush’s life exemplifies the values Halverson seeks to instill in the educational system.

Halverson emphasizes the need for a truthful teaching of the principles of a democratic republic. She believes that children must be taught the nation’s history accurately and comprehensively, ensuring they understand the foundations upon which the country was built.

With her candidacy, Cynthia Halverson aims to bring a focus on traditional values and parental rights to the D20 School Board. Her commitment to a Biblical approach to education and her reverence for the nation’s history position her as a dedicated advocate for the students and families of District 20.
