VA Dems vote no on WOC nominee to state board of education

[Anonymous]

I can't wait to hear the usual outcry about "racism!" the next time a Democratic appointee is denied. Bookmarking this thread so I can remember all the responses I'll need to borrow.

Neither are his! I mean, come on. Do you realize how absurd you all look, stating that she's not qualified, but Gecker is? Amazing, because if she was a Democrat, you'd all be salivating over the fact that she's a WOC.

You believe Democrats would do what you are doing.

I don't care what her ethnicity is - the point is, were she a Dem, YOU would be touting this "no" vote as sheer racism. That much we all know.

Eh? No, if she were a Democrat - well, first of all, she wouldn't be a Democrat, because of her pro-culture war positions, and second of all, if she were a different person who was a Democrat, the opposition would be claiming that she supports pornography and litter boxes in kindergarten classrooms. I.e., more culture war.

Way to completely miss the point.

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.

OK, does she have a background in education though? They don't "mean" that they are rejecting her because her views don't align.

She is well educated so she certainly has a ”background in education” and isn’t any less qualified than any county public school board member.

Seriously. She's probably far better educated than *ANY* of the FCPS SB members, not to mention she's also a parent of VA public school students - something few SB members are.

Ok. Still irrelevant.

Her education and experience were NOT in education.

Neither are his! I mean, come on. Do you realize how absurd you all look, stating that she's not qualified, but Gecker is? Amazing, because if she was a Democrat, you'd all be salivating over the fact that she's a WOC.

I didn’t comment on qualifications at all.

Having an education is not the same thing as studying and working in the education field.

Which he has not done either.

Ok. And?

You sure have a boner for him.

She was cut because she’s a RWNJ, not because of her skin color.

She was cut because the left-wing Democrats can’t tolerate any dissent from their woke ideology, especially coming from a POC. It ruins their narrative.

And now she’s not getting another job either.

Doesn’t play well with others means she offended Anne Holton, a privileged white woman who got where she is in life largely by virtue of her Governor father and her Senator husband.

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.

He was only an adjunct prof at VCU - in urban studies. Link to USC?

Fortunately, she is still free to dissent all she wants.

She was cut because she’s a RWNJ. Period.

Great, so next time a liberal POC is cut, you'll know it was because they were a LWNJ, and not because of their skin color. Glad we got that straight.

The only thing I’ve said is that having an education is not the same thing as studying and working in the education field. How exactly is that hypocritical?
