Assuming that Squealer really did find a false Minoshiro, then that means he's probably in a far more informed position than the vast majority of humans.
If Queerats were originally humans who were affected by PK, then that's also something he would probably have found out about. I'm really curious about whether they're former humans or former something elses. Because it looks as if Queerats aren't going to take being second class organisms for for much longer, it'll make a difference whether they're ex-humans or not, because if they are, then there could be more an element of "it's our right as humans" rather than "it's our right as intelligent creatures". Either way they might even decide that they're superior to the "god" humans. After all, the humans aren't without their problems - they're nearly all brainwashed sheep, like poor Ryou.
What the humans in Shin Sekai Yori seem to have done in a way is place all of their trust in the Queerats (and then the tainted cats, to an extent). It's so risky. The death feedback means that they can't fight back if another human goes berserk on them, which means that they have to rely on brainwashing nearly everyone and killing every possibly unstable person. And if they get it wrong and some people escape, the Queerats are their safety net, and they need to be able to trust that safety net because once a person or a few escape, it could be all over for the current humans. Though...I suppose they're thinking "We have PK and they don't, so there will never be a conflict - they'll always fear us and obey". The whole human society appears to be based around the fear of out of control PK, so that might take hold of their thinking.
