This essay debates the ideas of the Movimento Escola Sem Partido (MESP) by the “sacred” and “profane” categories analyses. These categories seek to understand how MESP establishes “duties of teacher’s conduct” expressed in its Bill. This political-educational reality can be constituted of two hypothesis 1) by the social construction of a heteronomous world and virtually confusing, and (2) by the mythical actualization of a kind of “sacred” teacher who would face the supposed profane world. These hypotheses signal symbolic forms of a crystallized past, constituting what Bourdieu called the “Quixote paradigm” – an anachronistic subjective expression of objective reality. The objective reality of education is presented in the last section of the article from a dramatic interpretation where tensions between “sacred” and “profane” values are understood as inherent in their social condition.

Keywords : Sacred; Profane; School without party; Moral.
