It’s difficult to tell from the story. Did the state actually use the term “re-education”? If so, the story can be used as a bat to whack every liberal you know over the head with.
My guess is that they have to go to classes that teach them sensitivity to others and the law as defined by liberals.
My guess is that the couple sees it as ‘re-education’....which it is.
They would dispute any required training as an effort to make them think ‘rightly’ instead of ‘wrongly’.
