If you go to [i]any[/i] public school (at least in the US) you see a [i]ton[/i] of cliques of children who adopt "us vs them" attitudes. Kids (generally) grow out of this when they reach college, but Bungie has a ton of kids who post here (proven by the fact there are so many girl/teacher related posts). I'd honestly say that more needs to be done to disrupt that type of behavior in schools, but it would be hard (and borderline immoral) to police children at that level.

Isn't that the job description of all teachers? Part of it to be to encourage inclusion.

[quote]Isn't that the job description of all teachers? Part of it to be to encourage inclusion.[/quote] Yes, but teachers don't police the children during lunch/recess/in between classes and such. I also hear it from my half brothers a lot that kids are still cut throat and discriminatory in their groups. It's a tough line to walk, honestly. I wouldn't want to force children to play together if they don't like one another, but allowing the "you're different from me and therefore a loser" mindset to grow leads to the type of kids you see here.
