A sexualidade na escola: a voz do silêncio

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the statements discourse in Foucault's perspective on argumentative texts of students of the 3rd year, in order to understand what the epresentation of these students regarding sexual diversity and gay rights. The school as a knowledge agency provides the de-ideology and consequently the solidarity with people who behave in a different way in relation to heteronormativity? During the research we realized that the taboos and silence still prevails in school and this contributes to the avoidance, academic and personal failure of these young people and teenagers, not to bear the physical and psychological pressure turn to drug use, try and / or practice suicide, they spend their lives running away from themselves and fail to develop healthy social relationships with partners and the general society. You can see that homophobic bullying also contributes to indiscipline as the school does not seek to solve it effectively. Fortunately some schools have awakened to the urgency of discussing gender and sexual diversity as a way to reduce hatred and intolerance, thus minimizing the serious educational and social problems.
