DescriptionThe ad wrongly suggests that Brown is to blame for the state taking control of Oakland's troubled school system in 2003.

If anything, Brown over-promised. He said in his mayoral campaign that he could help improve Oakland schools, backing a ballot measure allowing him to appoint three members to the district's governing board.

However, he never gained control of a board majority. Like most mayors, Brown's involvement in the school system was limited.
