School, a Place of Disrespect: Intolerance Against African Religions in Brazilian Public Schools

Abstract

Schools have been a privileged place of violence for blacks in Brazil. Starting from the contingent treatment of religious freedom, this article aims to denounce the perverse relationship between religious intolerance and racism, and how it has impacted the routine of children and adolescents in public schools in Brazil. The analysis of the systematization of the normative framework against religious discrimination in schools intends to reaffirm the commitment of Brazilian democracy with freedom and an education oriented towards respect, autonomy and emancipation.
