| | Eaton v. Newport Board of Education |
 | | Stachura, 477 U.S. 299, 106 S.Ct. 2537, 91 L.Ed.2d 249 (1986) the Memphis, Michigan School Board dismissed Edward Stachura, a Life Science teacher, for improper teaching methods in a sex education class. |
 | | Stachura sued the School Board, the School District, the school superintendent, the principal of his school, and a private citizen, Delores Truszkowski, who had lobbied the Board vehemently for Stachura's dismissal. |
 | | The Stachura court found that although Truszkowski was ultimately responsible for Stachura's dismissal, Truszkowski could not be held liable for her actions because they were protected by the first amendment. |
