a. Case: 393 U.S. 503 [the case came out in 1969] In December 1965, students of public schools in Des Moines, Iowa wore a black armband to school to show their objections to the hostilities in Vietnam. The principals of these three schools became aware of the student’s plan to wear the armbands on December 16, 1965, and adopted a policy forbidding students to wear the armbands two days prior. Any student wearing an armband would be asked to remove it, or would be suspended for refusal until after New Year’s Day. Though the petitioners, Mary Beth and John Tinker and Christopher Eckhardt, were aware of the regulation that the school authorities adopted, they still wore their armbands to school as planned and were suspended when they refused to remove them.

b. Case: 655 S.E.2d 232 Leilani Capp, Grandmother and guardian of Brian Hunter Sykes, filed a suit against Carlito’s Mexican Bar and Grill to recover compensatory and punitive damages when an incident occurred that resulted in Sykes obtaining injuries from a car crash. Sykes’ mother took him to Carlito’s bar, where she drank heavily, drove herself and this child home intoxicated, and then crashed her vehicle on the way home. Capp alleges that a bar employee knowingly served alcohol to the child’s mother while she was already severely intoxicated, thus resulting in the car accident. The Court of Appeals held that there was no way of knowing if an employee served Sykes’ mother, and that the grandmother had no right to recover damages as she had only adopted Sykes’ following the accident.
