should be/be
核心问题
A group was formed to demand that the bus company should change its unfair practices and King was made president. [《高中英语教科书》第二册(下), 人教社, p. 40]
与该书配套的《教师教学用书》(p.124)对上句话作了如下注释：
“注意，从句中的谓语动词要用‘should + 动词原形’，其中的 should 常可省略。例如：The blacks demanded that they (should) be treated as equal citizens. 黑人要求，他们应当受到平等的公民的对待。”
请问...they be treated...是省略 should 的结果吗?
词典解答
... they should be treated 与 they be treated 是两种句式,属于两种不同的语法范畴,不宜用省略来解释,见 insist , present subjunctive mood。
