DEMOCRACY, AUTHORITARIAN STOCK AND THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION IN THE PROCESS OF MILITARIZATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN BRAZIL

Authors

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the policy of fostering civic-military schools implemented by the Bolsonaro administration in order to question its authoritarian potential and the risks of weakening Brazilian democracy. It is discussed how the Military Police and the Armed Forces, as institutions recurrently allocated in the metaphor of authoritarian inventory, renew their anti-democratic practices by updating this stock with other tools, in this case the use of public basic education. From this, the paper calls into question how moralizing and hierarchical school management, with a conservative and non-pluralistic pedagogy, incurs the risk of violating the right to education and other freedoms that are essential even in the minimalist concepts of democracy.
