Suparna Dutta was appointed to the Board of Education by Governor Glenn Youngkin.

Suparna Dutta is a Technology Architect information technology professional in the telecommunications industry. She also endeavors to bring together parents, educators, students, and community members to advocate for high standards and parental involvement in their children's education. As co-chair of the Diversity Committee at her child's high school, she advocated for expanding access to STEM enrichment programs and improving the pipeline to challenging and rigorous education for more students in Fairfax County Public Schools. She has led the Education Platform at the American Hindu Coalition, supporting common sense education reforms.

She has a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering from Delhi College of Engineering in India. After working as a Civil Engineer, she arrived in the United States in 1993, earning an MS in Environmental Engineering at the University of Tennessee.

She is the mother of two children who went to Fairfax County Public Schools. She resides in Northern Virginia with her husband and family.

There is plenty there about education. She sounds like an ideal candidate.

Like what? She has a bachelor's degree and a master's degree? She has children who went to public school? She was co-chair of the Diversity Committee at TJ? She has advocated for "common sense education reforms" - I wonder what? - for a PAC?

What qualifications is she missing?

I have driven a car, therefore I am qualified to be a car mechanic.

Why the different standard for Dan Gecker, white Democratic male appointed by McAuliffe?

I guess I missed the part in Suparna Dutta's bio where she was a member of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for 6 years.

And how is an elected political position an “education background”? You may not know this but the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has no role in setting education policy in Fairfax County.

It's not an education background, but it's a background in setting policy. She doesn't even have that.

Wait a minute. So an “education background” is not required experience anymore when a Democrat doesn’t have any? Tell me more.

Gecker was a professor at VCU and at USC. Try again.

How does being a college professor have any relevance for expertise in K-12 education?

PP said Gecker lacked any “education background.” He most certainly does not.

This makes zero sense. You realize that right?

You’re better off making it about politics than some imagined qualifications.

Why would you say that? I disagree. Someone who has served on a county board of supervisors has first-hand knowledge and experience in how government works. She doesn't have that.

SOL = standards of learning. It has zero to do with setting budget for public safety or economic development.

Mr. Youngkin’s nominee is Suparna Dutta, an India-born woman who co-founded the parents group at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. That group accused the high school of abandoning its merit-based admissions standards to reduce the number of Asian-Americans admitted. Ms. Dutta is an engineer and advocate for STEM education. Democrats say she is unqualified to serve on the board because she has no background in education.

What they mean is she dissents from progressive orthodoxy. The vote to kill her nomination came a week after a heated dispute with board member Anne Holton, Sen. Tim Kaine’s wife. Among Ms. Dutta’s “controversial” remarks was her criticism of socialism and defending the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Never mind that Ms. Dutta lived under socialism in India.

Oh right, college professors wouldn’t have any idea what should happen in K-12 to make students ready for college. You all are really reaching.

Oh, I don't know - maybe recognizing merit and ending racial discrimination in admissions to TJ? Just a thought.
