For the record, I am a Jew-basher-basher. If one of those kids had been mine, he or she would not have been able to sit for a week, and would have been on bread and water for a month. That this sort of filth should be allowed to flourish almost unpunished (sent home? give me a break!) in a country with claims to civilization makes my blood boil.

I don't know what the best method is to uproot that kind of casual bigotry in children
Serious shaming would do the trick. Children are, in general, sensitive to what others think of them, and once it gets through to them that something they did is regarded, not as bad (that appeals to their nascent contradictory feeling - check the modern meaning of the word "wicked"), but as contemptible, base, repulsive, I think the message would get home.
