Abstract

Debates around sexual and integral education have been a topic of controversy. Ideas about what could be taught in schools and who has the right to teach on this subject are maintained in spaces of constant discussion, while the State develops public policies that try to solve the problems that arise within educational establishments. One of the situations in which this tension can be evident is the constitutional accusation made against Minister Marco Antonio Ávila during June of this year. This essay offers a reading of this problem from a gender perspective with the aim of making visible the discourses that reproduce discrimination against sexual and gender diversity.

Keywords:
