A planned talk by Rep. Rashida Tlaib at the Westview High School theater has been canceled after the Poway Unified School District revoked its approval of the event, saying that the date of the talk is the only day the space can be cleaned before the holiday break. The Defense Fund in 2017 represented plaintiffs suing to prohibit CAIR from teaching about Islam in the San Diego Unified School District’s anti-bullying program. AdvertisementThe fund was founded in 2012 by Rancho Santa Fe lawyer Charles LiMandri, who defended the Mount Soledad Cross in San Diego when challenged by the ACLU. Craun and UC San Diego political science professor Tom Wong are listed as participants in the conversation. Jones writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.
