Georgia high school students punished for creating 'Jews vs. Nazis' beer pong game

Five students from an Atlanta nondenominational Christian school were suspended and one was expelled after photos emerged of the students playing beer pong with cups in the formation of the Star of David and a swastika, WSB-TV reported.

Rabbi Peter Berg saw the photos with Nazi and Jewish symbols on social media and alerted the Lovett School administration, the Miami Herald reported.

“The fact that someone could even conceive of such a game, and then play it and think it’s funny is beyond words," Berg told WSB.

The Lovett School launched an investigation into the event. According to Lovett Headmaster William S. Peebles, he doesn't believe any of the students had malice in their heart but this is an opportunity for education, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"Character education is at the heart of all we do at Lovett, and we deeply appreciate the individuals and organizations across our community who are helping us to continue to learn and grow from this very troubling incident," the school said in a statement.

The student who took the picture lied about his involvement in the game, which resulted in his expulsion, AJC reported. The student who hosted the party was suspended but will have the ability to reapply to the school. Two other students will not be allowed to participate in co-curricular activities during the first two weeks of school.

“I think the school did a phenomenal job, and it’s exactly what you would want the school to do,” Berg told AJC. “They took it seriously, they did a thorough investigation, there was a punishment, and even further, there’s a plan moving forward.”
