Perhaps their racism was a result of "progressive" schools and parents of kids in those schools seeing everything through a lens of race or other identity markers?

I'm pretty sure it was because kids are assholes. And because it's easy to pick on outsiders. The class had 20 white kids and 3 black ones, obviously they're going to be singled out by the 7 year olds.

Anyway, this was before progressive meant seeing everything through the lens of race, so it definitely wasn't that.
