The Shame of the College Board

I opened up my New York Times and was surprised to find a full-page ad sponsored by the College Board attacking American education.
The ad showed a graphic in which “national security,” “jobs,” “healthcare,” and the “economy” rest upon a base of “education,” but the base is cracking.
The ad says: “Our future depends on the strength of our education system. But that system is crumbling.”
The ad then says “Help make education a higher priority in the presidential campaign. Go to DontForgetEd.org,” a website with very little content.
