A beer pong game organized by high school students involves cups arranged in the form of a Swastika and rules include giving the “Jews” the opportunity to “Anne Frank” or hide a cup.

Police now want to know who bought the booze.
A photo of Princeton High School students playing a beer pong game described by some websites as “Alcoholocuast” has some students and parents enraged.
The photo features teenagers standing around a table where beer-filled cups are aligned in the form of a Swastika on one end, and cups on the opposite side are arranged in the form of the Star of David.

According to websites describing the game, Nazis are allowed to “Auschwitz” an opponent who’s forced to sit out a round.
Lt. John Bucchere said on Friday that police are investigating as to who provided the alcohol.
"I know I'm not the only one who saw this SnapChat story," Ponder wrote. "Yet here I am, the only one saying anything about it. I am unsure as to what's worse: the static silence from my peers, or the fact that this happened in the first place."
In an interview with New Jersey Advance Media, Ponder said she knows who the students in the photo are, but declined to name them.
"They are athletes and student leaders," Ponder said. "They're prominent individuals that everybody knows, captains of sports teams."
Ponder also said the photo was taken in a basement she recognized not far from her apartment in Princeton.

Superintendent Steve Cochrane said the district is talking to students and families about the photo.
"As an individual and as the superintendent of the Princeton Public Schools, I am deeply upset that some of our students chose to engage in a drinking game with clearly anti-Semitic overtones and to broadcast their behavior over social media," Cochrane said in a statement.
"Underage drinking is not a new problem; nor is the misuse of social media; nor are actions of bias or bigotry," he said. "They are not new problems, but they do not have to be ongoing ones."
Ponder said most reactions to her post were positive, but she still met some challenges.
"A couple of people came up to me using profanities, but a lot of people were very kind and I'd say appreciative of what I did,'' Ponder said.” Someone needed to show what exactly is going on when no one's paying attention.''
