An Anoka-Hennepin school board member backed by a conservative parents rights group says he plans to force a budget showdown if the district does not scrap programs aimed at racial and gender equity.
Matt Audette wrote in an April 12 Facebook post that he would not vote for any budget that included the “spreading of divisive, one-sided views.”
But officials at the north metro school district say many of these programs are required by law, and eliminating them could imperil the district’s funding and students’ ability to graduate.
This is terrible news. This is why voting is important especially in local races on off election years. Minnesota has good schools and people like this are looking to wreck that.
Friendly reminder that school board elections matter even if you don’t have kids. A single person can cause so much damage.
