Grammatical problem - It's Ved that S (should) V...

I saw an example on a textbook

I proposed that these children be not punished.

It is weird to me because I think it should be "I proposed that these children not be punished".

Is the sentence I put in bold correct?

And can I write "should" out When writing an essay.

Thanks in advance

It is weird to me because I think it should be "I proposed that these children not be punished". You are right. I think it's an error that escaped the editor.
