[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's her biography on the State Board of Education website. I'm not seeing any background in education in it.

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.[/quote]

[b]There is plenty there about education. [/b] She sounds like an ideal candidate.  [/quote]

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?[/quote]
What qualifications is she missing?[/quote]

I have driven a car, therefore I am qualified to be a car mechanic.[/quote]
Why the different standard for Dan Gecker, white Democratic male appointed by McAuliffe?[/quote]

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.[/quote]
