Zach Munro, a former student at Northern Highlands Regional High School in Allendale, New Jersey, claimed Thursday that Superintendent Scot Beckerman believes “all lives matter.” The administrator allegedly made the remark in response to Munro and other alumni urging him to discuss “political movements like Black Lives Matter and anti-Asian hate” with teachers.

Dysmantle is a survival game set on a large island that’s been ravaged by monsters. Two players can explore the island together, sharing upgrades and stats, while able to equip gear independently of each other. The game uses a top-down view for the most part, but the camera can be adjusted to give players a better look at whatever area they’re exploring. Players have to stay within the same camera shot, so it’s a little restrictive, but they’re given enough room to roam that it rarely becomes an issue....
