ABSTRACT:
We present a research that investigated the Brazilian movement called Escola sem Partido (ESP). Also known as the “muzzle Law”, ESP has emerged in response to alleged “indoctrination” in schools and has been gaining prominence since 2015, with proposed laws at the municipal, state, and federal levels. The goal of this article is to present a state of the art research about ESP from 2016 to 2018. After bibliographical research, we organized four categories that group the scientific production about this movement: school curriculum, ideology and neutrality, “gender ideology”, and implications of ESP for teachers and students. The scientific literature demonstrates that the ESP has conceptual misunderstandings, silence different points of view and brings, in its assumptions, much of the indoctrination it claims to combat.
