I also believe intolerance and bullying are not natural traits, they are TAUGHT, and probably by members of our generation.

I respectfully disagree with this. Bullying comes naturally to some, depending on their personality type. I believe it is our generation, and the ones before us, who tolerated this bullying as "a right of passage," and did not TEACH the bullying types that this type of behavior is wrong.
And the schools are complicit in this ignorance. (And I mean "ignorance" in the sense of ignoring a big problem.) It's long been time for a change from the top down.
