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.

About the Superintendent's "change of heart" ...
Horse puckey. Grab their ballz. Their "hearts and minds" will follow.
It is just like dealing with the old Soviet Union: Strength is what matters.
Bring us up to speed on what happened, if you do go. It sounds like this could be good.
I took a dozen pics of the 75 or so commies, terrorist supporters and illegal aliens across the police line. We had about 150-200 on our side. The scum were better prepared with large signs and banners, obviously they are pros who go from one hate-America rally to another. I was amazed by the number of muslim women in black semi-burquas, going after Tancredo for the Mecca comments.
We yelled at them through a megaphone, they yelled at us. There must have been a total of at least 100 cops in full riot gear (shields, batons, shotguns, boots, the whole 9 yards).
I left at 9 when it was getting dark, and my camera was not effective. This was lucky, because I got to hear all of Tancredo's speech. I was VERY impressed by his speaking style, humor, everything. GREAT speech. A couple of California state reps spoke after him about the California Border Police initiative and other topis.
Correction: I left at 8. The rally ended at nine.
Thanks for the effort and the report.
If we had a governor with half a set he would have called out the National Guard to the border a long time ago which would have shamed GWB into acting on the issue!
I'm still waiting on the governor to sue the feds for the NINE BILLION DOLLARS a year that the illegals are costing the state of CA(those of us who actually pay taxes) to stay here!!!
Semper Fi,

Standing Ovation!
Cops in full riot gear. I think I'll check the U-T for their "slant" if any.
It has a nice sing-songy cadence in Espanol. Hit the capital letters with the beat, and you'll hear it:
!los inmiGrantes ileGales son banDidos crimiNales!
Next time, I'll grab the bullhorn for that one.
As an alternative, you can use "Los extranjeros ilegales son ladrones criminales." (Illegal aliens are criminal thieves.)
Mix and match to suit your preferences.
