Homeschooling is legal in Brazil but a judge has just sentenced two parents to 50 days in prison for “intellectual neglect” because their 11- and 15-year-old daughters, accomplished pianists and polyglots, received no classes on gender theory, sex education, tolerance, diversity and Afro-Brazilian culture.
The court argued that they would suffer in their personal lives and interactions with people of their own age from not knowing the Brazilian funk music style, which romantizes crime, life in favelas and is hyper-sexualized.
Apart from being accomplished pianists, the two girls speak Portuguese, English and Latin. They also read 30+ classic books per year.
The judge was particularly worried when he heard that one of the daughters is particularly fond of Christian music and doesn’t know what funk music is. ...

Same here.
Never saw them live but I have a couple of their CDs .
We need to funk…..
Bootsy Collins , a master of the bass guitar.
Not sure if Brazilian funk is anything like American funk.
British rocker John Baldry tells a tale about the time he was hauled into court for busking.
Funny intro of the story before he kicks out the jams.

Listened to a few seconds of that recording. It’s what they use to torture confessions out of small-time crooks, right?
It’s recordings like those that make me glad I never learned Spanish or Portuguese. What are all those pubescent girls smiling about, anyway? Nothing good, I’m sure.
Afro-Brazilian?! What kind of BS is this?
Further proof that this has always been a concerted enemy action to destroy our culture.
Grant them political asylum.
Lawsuits can be lucrative
Afro-Brazilian is probably just fine. But so is Mozart, Elvis, Polka, Rockabilly, Chassidic or Jazz. Who the f@#@$ is this senhor el-judgy-wudgy to decide to what music these kids have to be exposed. It’s none of they/their/whatever’s business. “Multi-cultarism.” Bah, humbug.

“make sure this wasn’t a Bee article.”
That’s exactly what I did, too.
Another manifestation of the “thought police,” as exists in all totalitarian states.
Which leaves me puzzled. Parents know this is poison. But, if gov’mt simply demands the subject be taught, then there is no reason to not have some time on it — as example of what not to do.
I think the term is “hostile compliance”.
Please tell me this is a Babylon Bee article. This is literally insane.
I have terrible news. This is not only not the Bee, but so over-the-top that nobody on the Bee could have dreamed of anything so ludicrous.
Gilbert & Sullivan, Monty Python, Rush Limbaugh and Benny Hill are all at a loss up in Heaven, as to whether they could ever have topped this farce.
insane.
Is this BS?
I like 1:19 where she sings the trumpet part.
