Resumen

BAIBICH, Tânia Maria. The Flintstones and prejudice in school. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2002, n.19, pp.111-129. ISSN 0104-4060.

In our country, that is seen by the “global imaginary” and by itself as a paradise of the crossing of races, the hypocrisy of the not enough questioning about the differences, that are a few, has allowed for the maintenance and the aggravating of the silence that speaks in favour of prejudice. The lack of plurality in education is only one of the forms of preservation of the big carpet of the “racial democracy” that hides the lack of real democracy. This paper, while going through the concepts of alterity and prejudice, intends to invite the reader to reflect about the practice of the prejudice negation in the school space and its regrettable consequences to its maintenance in the social web. Aiming at illustrating the considerations about the process of “sweeping to under the carpet” using most of the socialising spaces in our society and, not less notably, in the schools, searches, by means of some interviews with teachers of a Public School of Paraná State, data to allow for a better diagnostic of the school attitude, as well as of the teachers’ in respect to the acknowledge of the existence, to the profilaxes and/or the treatment of the prejudice. The analyses indicate that the school, even when it is intended to be orientated to the coexistence of the different, faces, apart from the enemies already known, the big and apparently non transposed barrier of the negation that, deliberately or not, promotes the maintenance of the state of prejudice as well as the generation of prejudiced individuals.
