Though this is the leftist rag, the Nation.... it's interesting how they are talking about Bolsonaro is going to attempt to boot left-wing agendas from the educational system. I don't go along with banning opinions, who knows if that is accurate? But left-wing indoctrination which the article addresses might have some merit.

Ana Caroline Campagnolo is a 27-year-old high-school history teacher with thick-rimmed glasses and long, straight, dark hair, parted to one side. For several years she has waged a campaign to rid Brazil’s education system of what she believes to be deep-rooted “communist indoctrination.†This year, that activism won her a seat in the Santa Catarina statehouse representing the Social Liberal Party of far-right president-elect Jair Bolsonaro.
Just hours after the presidential election results rolled in, Campagnolo posted a message on her Facebook page calling on students to film and report teachers who express negative views about Bolsonaro’s victory. She set up a hotline where students could send the videos and complaints.
