there is surprisingly little other information on this shocking occurrence floating about, which is strange.
I think I will have to reserve my opinion for when there is more information.
But it does seem likely that this behaviour is being motivated by something the children have been exposed to, be it directly or indirectly.
The school is at great fault, but I cannot say enough that the details of a child's education are really up to the parents: those that should be the most concerned with every aspect of a child's balanced up-bringing.
But also, even at 6, some kids can be little shits, regardless. I really believe that, yes.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
