This research seeks to understand how a state school in the countryside of São Paulo state acts on the issue of ethno-racial relations provided for by Law no. 10.639/2003 for Brazilian education. Through an ethnographic case study, we sought to investigate actions to combat racism in the final years of elementary school. Data collection included Participant observations and interviews with professional educators. The results indicated the school community's unpreparedness for the implementation of the law and the prevention of situations of racial violence against black students. It is concluded that silence is being maintained in the face of racial inequality in the school studied.
