@@@ The 30-second spot, called 鈥淏etrayal,鈥?will start airing Tuesday in every media market in the state.

It shows a young boy drowning in a swimming pool. 鈥淲hen kids in failing schools begged Jerry Brown to save them, he betrayed them,鈥?says the caption in the spot, as the child struggles underwater.


The ad shows Kashkari pulling the boy to safety and addressing the camera:
鈥淚鈥檓 running for governor because every kid, in every neighborhood, deserves a good education and a chance for a better life. Jerry Brown betrayed our kids to protect his donors.鈥? Kashkari鈥檚 ad is playing off , in which a Los Angeles judge found that the state鈥檚 system of teacher tenure violates the constitutional rights of children in poorer school districts by making it all but impossible to fire incompetent instructors.

The聽 decision has been backed by some Democrats, including Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, and Marshall Tuck, who is running for state schools superintendent against incumbent Tom Torlakson. Kashkari has criticized Brown for failing to take a stand on it.

Torlakson and the California Teachers Association have criticized the ruling, saying it blames teachers for a system that needs more funding and resources.

Kashkari鈥檚 new ad comes as polls show him losing by double digits to Brown. The Republican challenger is also far behind the governor in fundraising.

His campaign says the drowning child is a 鈥渕etaphor鈥?for how the state is treating poor and minority children.
