United States Sixth Circuit
Evans-Marshall v. Bd. of Educ. of the Tipp City Exempted Vill. Sch. Dist., 09-3775
In a teacher's section 1983 suit against a school board and other individuals, claiming that defendants had retaliated against her curricular and pedagogical choices, infringing her First Amendment right to select books and methods of instruction for use in the classroom without interference from public officials, district court's grant of defendants' motion for summary judgment is affirmed as the First Amendment does not protect primary and secondary school teachers' in-class curricular speech.
