This text aims to analyze the political strategy of the government of Jair Bolsonaro, which tries to impose its civic-military conversion on Brazilian public schools, as a phenomenon that hides, at least, two fundamental aspects that are totally intertwined: (a) a history of negligence identified in the untying of resources for education; (b) an action that favors financial capital and business reformers of public education. Although the Decree that creates the National Program of Civic-Military Schools - PECIM - has indicated that the adhesion of federative entities to the Program is optional, it will be possible to note here that the public school has against itself the pressure of having to adhere and naturalize such a policy, like a hostage with a rifle pointed at him whose disobedience could mean his extermination. Under the dizzying symptoms caused by the subsequent historical usurpations of default and mechanisms of untying the values that should have been destined for it, the public school finds itself coerced, in order to continue to exist, to submit to the clutches of militarized logic.

Keywords : civic-military schools; linking education resources; privatization of processes.
