The above link is to an interesting article on "empathy babies". It's about
a program developed by a Canadian non profit organization that is using
babies in classrooms to teach empathy and decrease bullying.

The above link is to the website for Roots of Empathy (the organization
responsible for the program). It's an interesting concept, and I've heard of
negative and positive experiences with the program.
One of the things that the children learn about about is infant attachment.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if breastfeeding was included as part of the
teaching given to the children?! What better way to raise a generation of
breastfeeders than to start teaching children in kindergarten that it's normal!
