The teacher is the enemy: an analysis of teacher persecution in Brazil

In recent years, Brazil has experienced a situation that brings together serious and constant episodes of attacks on human rights. In addition to this factor, we have the withdrawal of basic social rights, such as access to food, housing, health, education, work, among others. A scenario where the dismantling of the State, social deprotection, and the insecurity of the population are directed towards a supposed threat of destruction of the family and the hegemonic moral order. To talk about the construction of this new enemy, Pâmella Passos and Amanda Mendonça recapture the trajectory of one of the people responsible for this invention: the Escola Sem Partido Movement (MESP). This movement, by defending supposed pedagogical neutrality, accuses educators of influencing their students by exercising persuasive power over them compared to pathology. It is also important to say that MESP started to bring together a diversity of actors, fundamentally combining sectors of the country's intellectual and party rights, the Christian religious summit, sectors of the Brazilian business community, among others. The combined performance of agents through a conservative coalition in defense of the "neutral school". A scenario where the family is at risk is consolidated; a scenario where the education of children is in danger and the teacher is the important piece of this threat.
