A mix of automobiles and a game with an offensive title doesn't sound like a good combo...it sounds dangerous. The game students created was named "Beat the Jew." It was modeled after Nazism. One willing student would be the "Jew" who would be left stranded on the highway and blind folded. The Nazis would try to capture or tackle the "Jew"...

Peace. We're traveling back to the 1960s... Pinewood Middle School students in Kentwood are making a peace garden.

Students got to learn about soil and water and how humans react to their environments. The school's ultimate hope is that this peace garden will influence the students to be pacifists.

Administrators aren't scared though because this means more individualized attention per student.
