California School Game: Beat the Jew

[Rev.Cambeul]

SEVEN seniors at a Southern California high school are facing disciplinary action for participating in a game called Beat the Jew, in which losers were subjected to "incineration" or "enslavement", a school administrator says.

The game involved some students playing the role of Nazis, who blindfolded and dropped off other students playing Jews who must find their way back to the campus, said Sherry Johnstone, assistant superintendent of personnel for Desert Sands Unified School District.

It was not immediately clear exactly how losing players were punished, she said.

Seven seniors at La Quinta High School could be suspended or barred from graduation, among other measures, Ms Johnstone said.

"This is appalling to us," she said.

"We want our students to understand the horror of a title like this."

The district started investigating a week ago after students reported the game to administrators.

The game was promoted online, attracting about 40 students. Seven showed up to play one evening in the campus parking lot, Ms Johnstone said.

The district is working with Jewish organisations to review its tolerance curriculum. A voluntary tolerance program will be held after school.

The matter also has been referred to La Quinta police. A call to the Police Department was not immediately returned.

I remember playing "Smear The Queer" as a kid in school, needless to say, I like "Beat The Jew" better.

I don't think we had any Jews at the schools I went to, they weren't open about it anyway. However, we did throw our 5c coins up in the air around the canteen and yell "Jew Jump," then give a lot of grief to anyone foolish enough to pick it up.
