The article isn't available to non-subscribers. ( or maybe I'm doing something wrong )

There isn't enough information in the OP to determine the context.

But yeah, I can give a whole lecture on the relevancy of business and other societal stakeholder participation in the determination of curriculum.

If the article is submitted to the AP, then we should be able to find it elsewhere...

Unfortunately the internet is full of opinion givers that have not done due diligence in their research, or have a worldview that pre-conditions the outcome. But I speculate because I have not done my own due diligence researching an article I have not read.

Suggestion: It is time to make lemonade out of lemons. They brought it to the public's attentions. Now is the time to jump in and correct the facts...
