This article intends to approach the proposal of a new high school regarding its promises of freedom brought to the youth by the media’s intense publicity, made by the ministry of education. The concept of freedom is substantial and needs to be unveiled according to our social issues, such as, inequality. By dialoguing with the commercials produced by “MEC”, the base text of the high school reconstruction and the country’s excluding reality; I seek to contextualize how this new curriculum proposal intends to cover up the inequalities that structure our capitalist society. The frame of reference is the concept of bourgeois coldness, in the critical view developed by Gruschka, to understand how the indifference regarding the lives of the subjects is built.

Keywords : New High School; Freedom; Inequalities.
