OLIVEIRA, Paulo Victor Poncio de  and  MELO, Lúcia de Fátima. SEXUAL AND GENDER FREEDOM IN THE ACRE EDUCATION NETWORK: OBSERVING THE LOCAL CONTEXT. Revista Teias [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.57, pp.40-61.  Epub Dec 18, 2019. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2019.42745.

The article presents discussions about gender freedom and sexual diversity in the context of educational policies, having as empirical field the Public Basic Education Network of the State of Acre. Visits were made to the State Department of Education and Sports and to nine high schools, representing all the regional schools that make up the Network, where semi-open interview s were applied to the subjects that make up the state administration and pedagogical and teaching coordinations of these schools, with the objective of know ing and analyzing the reality, in the acriano educational context, of the existing dialogue on freedom of gender and sexual diversity. The conclusive aspects of the research indicate that the Public Basic Education Netw ork does not oppose the discussion about the inclusion of the topic of gender freedom and sexual diversity in its curricula, despite the undeniable parallel resistance that exists on the part of some conservative sectors of society. However, there is a lack of legal, technical, and especially pedagogical mechanisms that allow the consolidation of egalitarian educational policies and combat any and all institutional and social mechanisms for preserving historically constructed prejudices.

Keywords : Freedom of gender; Sexual diversity; Public Netw ork of Basic Education of Acre.
