Abstract

This article is the result of a research that aimed to analyze how Sociology teachers approach the theme of gender and sexual diversity in classrooms. For this purpose, 1) a historical context of the effects of the so-called "moral panic" in Brazil is analyzed through the literature, and 2) an analysis is made of in-depth interviews conducted with five public school Sociology teachers from the state of Rio de Janeiro. The results obtained show: from 2018 on, there have been more difficulties in approaching topics that trigger moral panic dynamics in classrooms and more threats to the freedom of teaching. Nevertheless, most students, according to the professors, are open to reflection and debate. By way of conclusion, the current scenario of the subject in High School is presented, from the reform and the Base Nacional Curricular Comum (BNCC), along with the future challenges narrated by teachers regarding the reduction of time of the subject and its fragmentation into a broader area.
