Bolsonaro councilors have presented bills to prohibit the broadcasting of music in municipal schools that contain violence and advocate drugs, violence and other illicit acts. The proposals are being dubbed by themselves as “anti law”.
In the case of , the municipal genre appears specified in the first article of this Monday’s bill (13) by first-term councilor Vile Santos (PL).
He told the Panel that he was inspired by a decree by the mayor of Carmo do Rio Claro, Filipe Carielo (PSD), who banned funk in municipal schools in the city in the south of Minas Gerais.
“Funk covers 98% of what is being played wrong in schools,” said the councilor, former advisor to state deputy Bruno Engler (PL).
Vile highlighted that the second article of his proposal prohibits songs from other genres that contain an apology for crime, pornographic content or “double-meaning expressions that promote ideas that are inappropriate for the moral development of children and adolescents.”
He also stated that it would be up to the city hall to regulate and identify ways of monitoring.
In , councilor Olímpio Araújo Júnior (PL) also filed, last week, a project to ban music considered “violent” in municipal schools.
In a video published on social media, he said that the project does not define a musical genre, but mentions the nicknames that were given to his project, such as “anti-funk law” and “anti-Anitta law”, in reference to the singer of the musical style.
To the Panel, the councilor said that his project will be processed under the name “Clean Music law”, and, as it does not define a musical genre, the project is constitutional.
“This law is not specific to Anitta or funk, it was a joke when I mentioned that I would make a motion to repudiate her show in Curitiba last year. I ended up making this joke [de apelido] because her songs are also inappropriate and fall within the scope of songs that we intend to ban”, said Olímpio.
He also cited the band Mamonas Assassinas as an example of an artist from another genre who would be banned from schools based on the bill.
“I grew up listening to it and thought it was natural, but, if I analyze it, it’s not a song to be heard by a kindergartener,” said the councilor.
A similar proposal, authored by councilor Nelson Hossri (PSD), was approved by the Campinas City Council last year, but was vetoed by mayor Dário Saadi (Republicans).
The management justified the veto because the proposal did not respect the “principle of democratic management of education”. The mayor’s decision was maintained by the councilors.
