Well, if he or you doesn't do a "mea culpa" and admit that what was said was "faulty" thinking, then you could be deemed rebellious and it could escalate.
If your husband wants to meet, it might be a course of action to just say, "Yeah, we said those things. Were they wrong to say?"
Then when they tell you that it definitely was wrong, say, "Oh, I am so sorry! Maybe we need to do more research about higher education. We will make that the subject of our next family study!"
