PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND THE APPLICATION OF LAW No 10.639/03: ANALYSIS OF THE LEGALITY OF THE TEACHING OF AFRO-BRAZILIAN AND AFRICAN CULTURE IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN RS

This study examines the legality of teaching African-Brazilian culture, from the relationships between the uniqueness of the application of Law no. 10.639/03, in the context of PE teachers' pedagogical work, which in turn is linked to general relations in educational policies. To face this challenge, we debate the context of public schools in Bage, Brazil, using bibliographical content analysis and focus groups. We found that the law is an educational policy that legitimizes class society as it proposes inclusion in a society whose structure is inequitable and exclusionary.
