> [@](#): > > “Perhaps it is a joke. But then I guess the punchline would be: genocide,” high school student Jamaica Ponder wrote on her blog, calling out her classmates for playing a drinking game she called racist, insensitive and indefensible. > > The game was “Jews vs. Nazis beer pong” — shooting ping-pong balls into cups of beer that have been arranged into the shape of a swastika on one side and a Star of David on the other. The team of “Jews” gets an “Anne Frank” cup that they can hide anywhere in the room; the team of “Nazis” has the power to “Auschwitz” one of their opponents, forcing him to sit out, according to rules of the game posted online. > > A photograph posted to Snapchat shows seven teens playing the game in a basement in Princeton, N.J., pouring Coors Light into a swastika made out of white cups and a Star of David made out of red cups.

Why are highschool students playing BEER pong? That’s more of a problem than some silly, stupid, probably not serious so you shouldn’t lose any sleep over it way they’re dressing it up. ---

> [@PastTense](#): > > I find this quite repugnant. Seriously what do schools educate concerning the Holocaust anymore? It has nothing to do with what schools teach about the Holocaust. It has everything to do with the fact that teenagers _love_ to do things that adults find offensive. The fact that it is repugnant is the entire point. _They are trolling you._ ---

HS students perform dumb, offensive act. Cheap beer involved. I found this story misfiled under “W,” for “Water, wetness of.” ---

> [@PastTense](#): > > I find this quite repugnant. Seriously what do schools educate concerning the Holocaust anymore? Actually, they seem to have learned a fair amount about it: they know the basic sides & a symbol for each, names of a camp & a famous victim, etc. Could be a lot worse. ---
