MONTEIRO, Marcos Vinicius Pereira  and  SIQUEIRA. THE ATTACK ON TEACHER FREEDOM AND THE DISCUSSION ON GENDER AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN EDUCATION. MULTICULTURALISM AS PROPOSAL OF RESISTANCE. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.2, pp.292-321.  Epub July 19, 2019. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2019v9n2id864.

This article situates and discusses the attack on teachers freedom, as has been happening in recent years, curtailing the debate about gender in the school environment. In this sense, we first present a reflection about the proposals approved or under discussion in different legislative houses in Brazil that aim to limit teaching freedom, and we identify the movements of resistance that oppose these attacks, mainly juridically. Next, we address the relationship between identity construction, gender and multiculturalism as an important reference to support resistance processes that contribute to minimize the impact of prior censorship on the school site. We discuss what this freedom entails for pedagogy and for education, arguing about the political role of the teacher, and about the importance of plurality of ideas in the school environment, as conceived from a particular view of multiculturalism. This is essential for ensuring more symmetrical relationships in society.

Keywords : Gender and human rights; Interculturality; Unpolitical School.
