Education board member gets booted after defending Constitution, speaking out against socialism

Hannah Ray Lambert , Megan Myers  |  February 8, 2023 5:30am EST


A woman who championed "traditional American values" was booted from the Virginia Board of Education one week after sparring with another board member over whether public schools should present socialism as "incompatible with democracy."

"I thought people celebrated diversity. Whether it's diversity of thought, diversity of viewpoint or diversity of any of the many characteristics?" Suparna Dutta, who immigrated to the United States from India, told Fox News ahead of the vote. "I'm flummoxed."

Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin appointed Dutta to the Virginia Board of Education in July. Dutta was set to be confirmed by the Senate of Virginia Tuesday night along with a host of other appointees to various government positions.

But Virginia state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi introduced a last-minute amendment removing Dutta from the nominations. The amendment passed on a party-line vote  .  .  .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
