ABSTRACT
The discursive construction of hate presents many facets and, considering this, we sought to approach the studies on the phenomenon of hate speech (GLUCKSMANN, 2007Glucksmann, A. (2007). O Discurso do Ódio. Rio de Janeiro: DIFEL .) on the Internet, focusing on the deconstruction of the teaching career on Twitter. For data construction and analysis, we intertwined Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001Fairclough, N. (2001). Discurso e Mudança Social. Brasília: Universidade de Brasília.) and virtual ethnography (HINE, 2005Hine, Christine (2004). Etnografía virtual. Nuevas Tecnologías y Sociedad. Barcelona: Editorial UOC. ) to investigate the sociodiscursive processes engendered in the discourse of hate towards teachers from comments made on Twitter about 5595 Bill (BRASIL, 2020Brasil (2020). Câmara dos Deputados. Projeto de Lei no 5595, de 17 de junho de 2020. Reconhece a educação básica e a educação superior, em formato presencial, como serviços e atividades essenciais e estabelece diretrizes para o retorno seguro às aulas presenciais.

). The results of the research show us that the strengthening of the discourse of hatred towards the teaching career is a mechanism of silencing teachers who are committed to the defense of human rights. Thus, producing, distributing and consuming hate speech through social networks is a harmful discursive practice, as it demonstrates a clear intention to destroy, to incite evil or to promote hatred towards certain minority social groups.
