Here is the Wikipedia article on this experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_(experiment)

The Wikipedia article states:

> "The Pride of Lakewood", a 2010 episode of children's animated series Arthur, was loosely based on the Third Wave experiment. In it, students who form a community pride group become fascistic.

I watched Arthur when I was in elementary school, and when I searched up this episode, I think actually remember it! Wow, back then, I totally missed the allegorical message... Possibly because I hadn't learned about fascism yet.
