If ultimately the board is tasked with approving materials, then it'd be the right defendant I guess. You'd have to assume the lawyer did the research to find out who to serve.
A much worse story today I've seen on tv was about a 6th grade class on some extended field trip, and the teachers there decided to do a "code red" drill. They told the kids there was a gunman and to stay hidden! What in the FUCK is wrong with people... these are children.. you dont do a drill where you tell them someone is going to kill them with a gun if they dont stay hidden, I mean for christs sake!

That's a horrible drill to run. wow.
As far as who to sue, I?d say that they should go after the teacher if they really "need" to sue someone. If it was me and that was my kid, I'd probably use this as a chance to teach the kid a lesson about freedom of speech, etc. Ultimately I'd tell the kid to suck it up, it's the cost of "freedom". That said, I'm not endorsing showing an R rated film to 8th graders, but the fact is that it happened, and the solution is not to sue the school board. What is suing going to teach that kid?
