ABSTRACT
Between 2014 and 2016, bills that make it possible to relive past experiences in a new format and context were presented in the two Brazilian legislative houses. These bills are about school education, but they have as corollary a normative and mutilating project of nation. These proposals are inspired by an allegedly non-partisan and anti-ideological movement self-styled Movement School Without Party. The purposes of this article are to discuss the bills no. 867/2015 and no. 193/2016, that are in process in the Congress, and to problematize them from the warnings and reflections of Arendt that discuss the education and the totalitarianism, the functions of the school, the separation between instruction and education and the denial of plurality and political action. It is necessary to reflect on the projects, especially because of the emotional load they carry with them in the current context, marked by the rupture of the democratic order since the promulgation of Federal Constitution of 1988.
