OP,

1. Tell your child that the behavior is bad, but not the person. In K, he should be able to understand that.

2. You can talk to the teacher if you're worried about how this impacts the learning environment. Send an email to ask when would be a good time to have a 5 minute chat. These things are better said face to face.

3. A little story: in third grade my son would come home with exactly the same lines about another boy. I thought the other boy was smart and cute and a little rambunctious, but nothing out of the ordinary. However my son would never want to play with him, because the teacher was imprinting on the kids that this was a "bad" kid. I had the opportunity to observe in class that the teacher could not stand this poor kid, was constantly hectoring him, and as a result, all the other children shunned him as well. Now in 5th grade, my son is great friends with the other boy, because the 5th grade teacher has a different disciplinary approach, and perhaps the boy must have matured as well.
