FURLIN, Neiva. FROM GENDER TO “GENDER IDEOLOGY” IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATIONAL POLICIES: THEORETICAL, HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL NOTES. Práx. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.44, pp.465-487.  Epub June 10, 2022. ISSN 2178-2679.  https://doi.org/10.22481/praxisedu.v17i44.7042.

From the beginning of this century, state mechanisms were created to include gender and sexuality in educational policies, responding to the demands from international organizations. Alongside this, conservative voices were raised that produced the narrative named “gender ideology,” aiming to disqualify academic studies and contain advances in rights aimed at gender equality and the recognition of sexual diversity. This theoretical-reflective article analyzes how gender has been incorporated into educational policies, in view of socio-cultural transformation processes and how it has become an element of political dispute on the part of conservative sectors, turning gender into an enemy to be fought. It is a project that hides specific interests and puts at stake a model of society and democratic education based on equal rights and plural coexistence.

Keywords : Democratic education; Gender concept; "Gender ideology".
