Minnesota’s largest school district has a new, conservative school board member.
Matt Audette, a married father of two high school-age boys, won a seat representing his area after campaigning against critical race theory in schools.
The Anoka-Hennepin School District , which includes suburbs of Minneapolis, comprises 34 schools and 37,880 students. Three of the six seats on the school board were up for election Nov. 2.
Though school board races in Minnesota are nonpartisan, Audette ran as a self-defined conservative. Central to his campaign strategy was advocating the removal of critical race theory , a divisive, Marxist-based ideology, from the district’s schools.
“When I started to run on this, I ran as a conservative … and I was opposed to critical race theory,” Audette, 46, said in a phone interview with The Daily Signal. “And I’ll tell you, the parents in our area are very opposed to it.”
Audette said the Anoka-Hennepin school district denied that critical race theory was being taught as part of the curriculum, but conceded that “they’re doing a lot of professional development for teachers using these principles.”
“I had teachers who supported me,” he said. “They would send screenshots of the professional development they were doing, and it was unquestionably these CRT principles. And so we knew that at a minimum, it was being taught to teachers. And then, once teachers have it, they take it to a regular classroom.”

Audette also campaigned on getting kids back in school after the pandemic, remote learning having affected him and his two sons personally.

Tim Walz, a Democrat, first temporarily ordered schools to close March 15, 2020, before formally announcing the next month that schools would remain closed for the rest of the school year.While elementary schools were given the option to reopen in January 2021, middle schools and high schools wouldn’t open again until a month later.“We tried for like the whole year to get [school closures] reversed and really weren’t successful. But as we did that, all of the parents started to talk about how we just don’t have a voice: ‘We need to get somebody on the school board […]
