Campaign themes
In a survey conducted by a local online newspaper, Bushard stated that his sole reason for running for school board was a desire to create and teach a course named "Truth About Politics" to the district's high school seniors. According to Bushard, the course would teach students "[...]that politics is, among other things, an on-going process though which financial advantages and disadvantages are distributed throughout society." Bushard further explained that the course would highlight the size of the national debt held by the federal government and the importance of civic engagement to require accountability of elected officials.[1]
