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.

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.

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.

She is insufferable and doesn’t play well with others. Didn’t pass the airport test. Simple.

And now she’s not getting another job either.

The only people who would label people like this “RWNJs” are LWNJs.

How do you define RWNJ?

Pushing conservative extremist views? Check.
Trump supporter? Check.
Youngkin supporter? Check.
Willing to hurt kids to push political agenda? Check.

In what way is fighting to make sure merit is recognized "extremist" in any way? In what way is she "willing to hurt kids to push political agenda"? Be specific. We'll wait.

She pushed the CRT and “banning advanced math” lies. She thought an after-school social justice book club at her kids’ HS was harmful. And protections for LGTBQ kids.

She pushes GOP lies.

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?

Um, okaaaayyy. Please go back to watching Fox News. What a bunch of gaslighting BS this post is. She doesn't have ANY experience in education - on any level. WHY ON EARTH would she be qualified to sit on governing board for state policy?!? I'm educated and interested and an "advocate" for many things - doesn't mean I deserve or should be put in a position of policy making for millions of people. Kinda of like someone being President who NEVER once in their entire life showed an interest in holding elected office in service of the constituents, had any experience governing, or doing anything that ever benefited anyone but themselves.

Now tell us about Dan Gecker's qualifications. You know, Dan Gecker, President of the VA BOE, appointed by both McAuliffe and Northam. Can't wait to read your gaslighting BS about that.

Being well educated is NOT the same as having a background in education.

What were Dan Gecker’s “background in education” before joining the Board?

EXACTLY. I've copied his "credentials" because this crew is too lazy/incompetent to look it up on their own. Tell us, Dems - what is his "background in education"? And he's the *President,* appointed by both McAuliffe and Northam. Too funny.

Daniel A. Gecker was appointed to the Board of Education by Governor Terry McAuliffe and reappointed to a four year term by Governor Ralph Northam. Mr. Gecker was elected by the Board to serve as its president in July 2017 and reelected in July 2019 and July 2021.

Mr. Gecker is a partner in Urban Development Associates LLC, specializing in historical rehabilitation and urban revitalization. He was a member of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors from 2008 to 2014, serving as chairman in 2010 and 2012. Mr. Gecker has dedicated many years to community involvement through organizations including the Orchard House School Board, the Greater Richmond Partnership Board, and Bridging RVA.

Mr. Gecker is a graduate of Princeton University, where he received his degree in economics, the University of Southern California, where he received his masters of public administration, and William and Mary’s School of Law. He resides in Chesterfield County, where he and his wife raised four daughters.
