Homeschooling (HS) is a movement created in the USA that since the 1960s has
been fighting for the right of parents to withdraw their children from regular schools
to teach them at home. At first, it maintained relations with anarchist ideals, but was
soon co-opted by neoconservative and neoliberal groups. Since then, the
motivations for its adoption have been the dissatisfaction with the school system
and the desire to have full control over the educational process of their children.
The practice came to Brazil through protestant missionaries at the end of the last
century, and, after a long period of inertia, reached public debate with the rise of
the new right political group. Assuming that there is a group of actors who act in a
coordinated way and guided by shared beliefs, we understand that, in Brazil there
is a pro-HS coalition, as defined by the Defense Coalition Model. Therefore, we
seek to investigate possible similarities and differences between the beliefs, the
ways of acting and the arguments used by the coalition that advocates in defense of
the legalization and implementation of homeschooling. Regarding the
methodology, we carried out a qualitative documentary research. In this way, we
selected materials produced by the coalition or that had the potential to present
important data about it, such as bills, shorthand notes from public hearings and
social media posts. We analyzed the data using content analysis, and the concepts
of neoconservatism, neoliberalism and the categories of analysis of the Defense
Coalitions Model. The results indicate that the coalition s beliefs are based on three
pillars: the notions of freedom, family, and accountability. They have a strong and
intimate relationship with neoconservative and neoliberal thought, which places
homeschooling within the field of educational policies guided by marketing and
moralizing values. Thus, we identified that HS leads to the exaltation of individual
and unrestricted freedom, the promotion of the traditional family, the objectification
of children and adolescents, the transfer of responsibility for a social right and the
appreciation of meritocratic principles. Additionally, the coalition uses different
strategies to materialize its beliefs and achieve its objectives, especially in the
political and social spheres. Still, we analyze the arguments adopted. The
coalition s arguments try to convince public opinion about the alleged benefits of
the practice and counter the criticisms raised by the opposing coalition. Finally, we
understand that homeschooling has the potential to jeopardize the right to education
and the idea of collective construction aimed at coexistence in a democratic society.
