CARLSBAD Citing past violence and threats of violence surrounding the hot button issue of immigration, Carlsbad Unified School District Superintendent John Roach said Thursday that he has canceled a town hall meeting scheduled for next week on the Carlsbad High School campus.
Sponsored by Republican state Sen. Bill Morrow, Thursdays meeting, titled The Illegal Immigration Crisis, was scheduled to include former San Diego mayor and radio talk-show host Roger Hedgecock as emcee, Colorado Congressmen Tom Tancredo, Minuteman Project founder James W. Gilchrist, attorney and author Madeleine Cosman, and former U.S. Attorney Pete Nunez.
Morrow defended his town hall meetings and other gatherings Thursday as peaceful affairs that sometimes inspired debate but had never turned violent, adding that he was concerned that canceling the meeting was encouraging the politics of intimidation and threats. . . .
