  3. Tinker family vs. des Moines schools • This case involved a family that resided in Des Moines, Iowa. They were law abiding citizens that wore school uniforms, and followed the rules. This family one day, when the war was going on decided to wear black arm bands to support the troops in the war. The school district called this disruptive and then took the family to court to resolve the issue. The tinkers had not done anything but support the troops so the court sided with them but the fact that the bands did no harm or representing they were allowed and ok.
