This project uncovers and analyzes contemporary mechanisms used by educational institutions to sustain social inequality. Using the theoretical tools of sociology to interpret the messages contained in elementary bullying prevention, I reveal the ways in which school-based programming plays a role in the gendering of children. This involves the promotion of obsolete (binary) conceptualizations of gender, the validation of an association between conventional norms of masculinity and aggression and the use of rhetoric to normalize social stratification rooted in gender. Through a detailed review of popular, commercially developed curriculum materials and a series of focus groups with elementary classroom teachers, this study builds on prior work which links bullying prevention, public schools and social stratification. It produces empirical evidence to document the language and ideas of neoliberalism, individualism and medicalization embedded in school-based anti-bullying efforts and demonstrates the persistent imposition of a kindness narrative. Civility, positioned as a remedy for bullying, functions, instead, to silence critical examination of the ingredients of systemic inequality and to stymy change. This renders bullying prevention counterproductive, constitutive of the very conditions which compose a bully-friendly environment and, ultimately, raises questions about the utility of school-based health education within a context of social inequality.
