I mean... It's probably the "involuntary" portion of their reeducation that folk take exception to. Maybe let's not forget that...
You go to prison if you don’t send your kids to school in the West.
Mandatory education is normal as fuck
You also frequently go to prison if you don't work in the U.S. (assuming you're poor)
It used to be illegal for black people to be unemployed for too long in much of the south.
Except...I can choose the school my kids go to and participate in deciding what they learn.
You don't get to choose what public school your kids go to in the US. Now if you're rich enough you can send them to a private school, or if you have the free time you can home school them but you still have to use and approved curriculum. Your options are still limited and you will be punished for not picking one.
You can move to a different school system. It's not terribly hard. And if you don't like the approved curriculum, you join the school board, and you work to change it. Otherwise, yes...we require our kids to go to school.
Ah yes, moving is always easy in the US especially with how affordable housing is right now!
Also it's great that public schools are funded by property taxes so poorer areas always have way shittier schools. Poors should just buy a house in the nicer countries.
Don't be sorry... And yes, I did.
Just sell your house and move bro
