Media should not be the sole responsible for the proliferation of biased and prejudicial social behavior albeit it is possible to assert their role in the discursive reproduction of ideologies that underlie such practices. Regarding the Brazilian schooling system, it is the duty of schools as institutions to promote citizenship acritical reading and reflection upon society, its groups and practices, most often neglected in the day to day. This paper is theoretically grounded on DCNs (2010), PCNs (1997), OCEM (2006), BNCC (2017) Cope and Kalantzis (2006), Rojo (2012) as well as Oliveira and Mariotto (2010) to discuss how schools should approach media content particularly those that are part of the lives of school students nowadays. To do so, education for citizenship is investigated in their association to the school curriculum such as proposed by the official documents in which the value of multiliteracy is argued based on their account of semiotic and social diversity to deconstruct at school biased discourses and social practices.
