Democrats in Virginia blocked Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s nominee for the Virginia Board of Education, claiming that she is both “unqualified” and aligned with white supremacist groups.
In the vote to confirm the governor’s nominees to various state boards and councils on Feb. 7, state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi offered a floor amendment blocking Suparna Dutta’s nomination to the Virginia Board of Education after Dutta spoke in support of parental rights, a rigorous merit-based education, and the U.S. Constitution.
