Bolsonaro seeks to end "ideological indoctrination" at school

RIO DE JANEIRO.- Still convalescing in his hospital bed, after undergoing surgery last week in which he had removed the colostomy bag that he had used after being badaulted during the election campaign , the Brazilian president,

Jair Bolsonaro

, reiterated his intention to end "ideological indoctrination" which he believes exists in the country's education system.

In his social networks, the president shared a video with images of a graduation ceremony of law students last year, during which two young people climb a scene and post a sign saying "The Fascists , racists, macho and homophobia ". , They will not pbad! ", Before starting to dance with the words against Bolsonaro (" El, no "), presidential candidate of the Social Liberal Party (PSL).

"The ideological indoctrination of educational institutions is made up of political activists and non-citizens with common sense and prepared for the job market." It is necessary to get out of this spine in good health.

The video was followed by a presentation – also ancient – of the philosopher Olavo de Carvalho, considered an "ideological guru" of a vast sector of the right that reigns in the Bolsonaro government, particularly for the President, his political sons, Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo. and the Minister of Education, Ricardo Vélez Rodríguez. In his speech, De Carvalho attacks the theory of cultural hegemony of the Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci, according to which leftist groups should seek to influence academic institutions to disseminate and impose their political ideas.

During the election campaign, Bolsonaro constantly criticized "the ideological indoctrination" and "gender ideology" that the Brazilian left has understood in the education system. Already before, Congress, as a deputy, had defended the project "School without party" to avoid "ideologization" in clbadrooms through left-wing teachers, which led the conservative sectors to the loss of religious values ​​and moral decadence of society.

Although the Minister of Education has already begun to implement some of the ideas of this initiative, the bill has been blocked in the Chamber of Deputies and even several jurists have alerted the Federal Supreme Court on its unconstitutionality. The issue is controversial even within the political alliance that supports the Bolsonaro government.

Last weekend, after being re-elected Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Rodrigo Maia – who belongs to the right-wing Democrats, one of the ruling party's allies, the PSL – stressed that the government's priority should be to be the reactivation of the economy. and not the defense of conservative values.

"After overcoming the economic agenda, we will discuss what to do with this customs agenda," he warned in an interview with the newspaper.
Folha de S. Paulo. "There are MPs who have been elected for this program of (conservative) customs and left-wing MPs who have been elected because of a more liberal customs agenda, but I think the House should not create a atmosphere of radicalism, to build with a balance the priorities of Brazil and I estimate that, in the short term, the priority is the reform of the State ", he underlined.

Meanwhile, in social networks, President Bolsonaro is still very active from his room at the Paulista Albert Einstein Hospital, where he is recovering from the operation he underwent last Monday to restore the intestinal flow damaged by
the stabbing he suffered during the attack during the election campaign. The original idea was that the president's recovery at the clinic would last ten days, but as Sunday was the beginning of an infection and febrile symptoms, the doctors extended their stay.

In principle, he will stay in the hospital until Monday, when he will have finished the treatment that began last Sunday. Only then will the medical team treating you make a new badessment to decide when to leave.

Bolsonaro is in a semi-intensive care room and has restricted visits. He is usually accompanied by his wife, Michelle, and some of his children, and only receives his ministers when absolutely necessary. The President did not want to delegate his executive duties to Vice President Hamilton Mourão throughout the convalescence period, and he barely did it for the first 48 hours following the operation. For the president to work from the hospital, a special room has been set up and has not been used yet. Bolsonaro took advantage of these days to intensify his publications on social networks, where he posted political messages, thanks and videos in which he shows his physiotherapy exercises while stating that his health is changing.
