In a perfect world the game of "Beat the Jew" would be followed up with another game of "Hang the Nazi."

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 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 what either punishment comprised for losing players, she said.
Seven seniors at La Quinta High School could be suspended or barred from graduation, among other measures, Johnstone said.
"This is appalling to us," she said. "We want our students to understand the horror of a title like this."
The district about 130 miles east of Los Angeles referred the matter to police because of the possibility that the game contained a threat, said La Quinta police Lt. Jason Huskey. No threat had been found so far, but the investigation was ongoing, he said.
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, Johnstone said.

Local High School Ends ‘Beat The Jew’ Game...because Obama already has enough distractions playing golf and basketball.
I hope someone asks her.
Welcome to Ubamaland.
If these were Jewish or Christian kids playing “beat the Arab,” Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be on the scene within hours, a special federal hate crimes investigation would be launched and the President of the United states would apologize publicly to the sadists, scammers, fanatics, dictators, and thugs who run the Arab world.
We used to play cowboys and Arabs at my Jewish school when I was a kid. Then the 6 Day War came along and everyone found it was real.
La Quinta has more money than Palm Springs.
Please take no offense but never refer to that rotten little turd as President again. He is a disgrace.
I don’t care for the name of the game, but if it was not during school hours, I just don’t see how they could expel the students. What you do in your free time should really be none of the school’s business.
Yeah, he's brought the country together so well. /SARC!!!!!
