With a lawsuit hanging over the school district's head, Carlsbad Unified School District Superintendent John Roach announced late Tuesday that he was backing down from his cancellation of a town-hall meeting on illegal immigration.
The decision ---- "effective immediately," Roach said ---- came on the eve of a court hearing on the matter.
Citing concerns about possible acts of violence by protesters, Roach last week canceled a permit that the school district had issued in early July to state Sen. Bill Morrow, R-Oceanside, to hold the forum, titled "The Illegal Immigration Crisis." The forum is scheduled for Thursday.
But Roach had a change of heart, he said, after school district lawyers reviewed his decision and advised him that the school district's cancellation of the event could violate the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

I hope it's still ON. Please keep us informed..thank you, sw
BTTT!
I was just by there about a half hour ago and there is already a TV van parked in front of the building.
For parking, there is a large parking lot just north of the building.
I might be able to make it, coming up from San Diego.
Give'em hell Trav!
Maybe I'll take a camera and a tape recorder and play reporter.
Most of these things go on when I'm earning my living. This one fits my schedule nicely. Hope to see you there.
Freepmail...
I plan to arrive early. I carpool from Miramar to Encinitas, and convinced my HOV butt to leave early.
I'll be one of the first in line to get in.
The Darryl Issa sponsored Assa Hutchinson yell fest in Temecula was standing room only and hundreds(?) were left to stand out-side as the very large room filled early.
I can't miss this.
This is gunna be goooooooooooood.
Sounds like I had better get there earlier than planned, I only live 10 minutes away.
There's no telling what might show up there tonight, the Carlsbad bario is only about 5 blocks towards the beach from the high school.
