In all of history, the use of "re-education" has always turned out to be ethnic/cultural genocide.

I went to college with an old coal miner who was going to my school for free on a re-education bill after the coal mine he worked at was shut down. I think you just only hear about the creepy “re-education” in the media.

That's occupational re-education. That is a similar term but not what we're talking about here. The re-education in question is when colonizers invade a land, kill off natives, steal their children, and send those children to the invader's schools to be force-fit into their culture.

Right, and it's immensely preferable to mass rape, pillage, and murder, which is what the west has done for its entire history, including to this day.
