He presented a representation to the Public Ministry of Paraná against what he called “serious violations” in João Turin, in Curitiba, after a video showing students singing a song in reference to the (Special Operations Battalion) that talks about “entering the favela and leaving a body on the ground”.
In the representation, the institute says that the song condones violence, promotes hate speech and creates a hostile and threatening school environment, in addition to violating principles of democratic management and freedom of conscience.
“The case of the Curitiba school is the maximum expression of the danger that the civic-military model represents for democratic education”, indicates the representation. “Instead of combating violence, he institutionalizes it in the form of indoctrination, support for extermination and oppression.”
The institute argues that the school management and military personnel or agents linked to the program who demanded the performance of the song commit administrative infractions for violating functional duties, abuse of power and practices that violate the fundamental rights of students.
The entity states that the obligation imposed on children and adolescents to sing phrases that extol “torture, summary execution and elimination of individuals in peripheral territories constitutes, in the foreground, the crime provided for in article 232 of the Child and Adolescent Statute, which criminalizes the act of ‘subjecting a child or adolescent to shame or embarrassment'”.
For Vladimir Herzog, the song forces students to repeat messages that celebrate extermination, glorifying serious crimes, “which goes beyond the limit of freedom of expression and enters the field of criminal illicitness”.
In addition to the initiation of an investigative procedure to determine the administrative, civil and criminal responsibilities of management and military agents, the representation requests the adoption of precautionary measures to prevent new practices of symbolic, psychological or pedagogical violence against students.
It also wants the State Department of Education to provide information on protocols, guidelines and chain of command of the civic-military program, indicating those responsible for authorizing registered practices, in addition to an assessment of collective moral damage with recommendations for reparatory measures and possible public civil action.
