The present research study is comprised in the field of History of Education and has Cultural History as its theoretical axis. It is intended to be a study of the reports of school actors. It is guided by the emblem of memory, a study informed by the history of ideas and of school institutions, and also by the history of the teaching occupation. It is mostly concerned with an effort to discern the relationship between the educational thought of the protestant group of Baptist confession and the educational platform of the period of the military regime in Brazil, which emphasized civism and nationalism. Teachers from the network of Baptist schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro were interviewed, with the tools offered by the field of Oral History and the guidance of the field of historiography dedicated to the study of memory. The teachers who were interviewed taught subjects such as History, Moral and Civic Education, and OSPB [The Social and Political Organization of Brazil], considering the political and ideological inclinations that these disciplines took on, at the time. As a product of this investigation, it was noted that the political fervor characteristic of that historical context, when added to the confessional nature of the Baptist schools, as well as the religious educational background of the teachers interviewed, ended up creating tensions within the school space, generating moments of regulation and ideological constraint, but also of resistance and questioning, sometimes geared towards the content of the school disciplines as defined by the State or towards ideologically conflicting situations, part of the daily exercise of the teaching profession and the relationships among school actors.
