Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) blasted Democrats after the Virginia state Senate rejected three of his nominees, including an Indian immigrant he nominated to the board of education.
Youngkin said the Senate's rejection of Suparna Dutta to the Virginia Board of Education on Tuesday was evidence that the"liberals don't think parents matter."
Dutta's appointment to the board was rejected following a recent board of education meeting in which board member Anne Holton, who is married to Sen. Tim Kaine , said that the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence could not be considered"remarkable" without"acknowledging that they contain fundamental flaws of enshrining slavery and limiting the protections that they provided for only to white, propertied men.
On Fox and Friends First on Thursday, Dutta called herself"a proud immigrant" who believes the United States is"the best country in the world" while criticizing Virginia Democrats who opposed her appointment. Dutta is co-founder of the Coalition for TJ, a group of parents at Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria, Virginia, that have opposed efforts at the magnet school to modify admissions practices.
