There is also intense surveillance of the sexuality of children, seeking to encourage heterosexuality as the norm to be followed and at the same time, contain it. However, the analyzed curriculum not always managed to regulate the subjects where other possibilities could be built. The most significant was to show how the school curriculum exerts strong brands in the constitution of its subjects.
