This article aims to analyze childhood as an educational project during the military dictatorship through the memories crossed by social markers of difference of people who lived their childhood or part of it during this political moment in Brazil. In these memories, the meanings about childhood in the educational contexts of social institutions, such as family and school, are highlighted, in line with the nation's development and progress project in function throughout the military dictatorship. It is therefore worth asking: what are the educational processes for childhood during the Brazilian military dictatorship? Which childhoods, in their differences, were suffocated by the educational project of normative childhood? The context of these inquiries is a research which focus is the childhood memories of the military dictatorship of people, aged between 50 and 70, who, at present, are linked to unions or social movements focused on issues of gender, race and sexuality. It is argued that these memories converge in pedagogies of moralization and gender norms as projects of the Brazilian nation for a generation of children. On the other hand, it is noted that, even in the face of a pedagogical project of silencing childhood through the production of the social disappearance of political repression, there are displacements and gaps for the existence of meanings and subjectivities that follow the counterflow of normative education in force at the time.
