“Beat the Jew” Update
From the AP via the NYT:
Seven seniors at a Southern California high school were facing disciplinary action for participating in a game called “Beat the Jew” in which losers were subjected to “incineration” or “enslavement,” a school administrator said Friday. The game involved some students playing Nazis, who blindfolded and dropped off other students playing Jews, who were to find their way back to the campus, said Sherry Johnstone, assistant superintendent of personnel for Desert Sands Unified School District. The game was promoted online, attracting about 40 students. Seven showed up in the campus parking lot one evening to play, Ms. Johnstone said.
Although the story doesn’t give a reason why students are subject to school discipline now when they weren’t earlier, my guess is that this time they met on school grounds. Of course, attention and outrage from the public helps in deciding to take action, too.
