However, I feel like you're suggesting an organized effort to push other social issues.

That's exactly what I am suggesting. Kids need to be singled out, it's not always a negative to single them out . This goes with the "everyone is a winner". Mindset. Sorry there are winners and losers in all facets of life why should school be any different? I will always contest that all kids need to feel some sort of exclusion and even bullied to an extent. It builds character as also helps develop leaders and outside the via thinkers.. Now this doesn't mean I am into drastic measures but a little bit of exclusion and being bullied is a positive.
If there isn't a group of kids being bullied then there isn't any kid who figures out they are leaders by standing up for the ones getting bullied. We need those people in society and we need to develop them.
