Brazillian Mom & Dad Jailed for "Intellectual Neglect"

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. ...
