The major question this article asks:
Could anti-bullying programs be more successful if they dropped their primary focus on bullies and victims and instead took aim directly at the sidekicks and other key members of the bully’s posse? After all, if a supportive audience is what fuels the bully, wouldn’t the sidekicks be the most logical place to try to choke off that oxygen supply?
Definitely give it a quick skim; it’s a long one.

The ‘bully posse’ is unlikely to be swayed by the program you suggest because they’re all reinforcing eachothers behavior.
