- The #DepartmentofEducation (#MinistryofEducation), or #MEC, presented several changes to the education system, and one of them is a significant increase in the number of hours of #Math and #Portuguese classes (about 50% of high school students in #Brazil is considered #functionalilliterate) and a significant reduction in the number of hours of art classes. #illiteracy #functionalilliteracy #Mathematics #news #newsfrombrazil #brazilnews #braziliannews
- In October 23, 2005, a referendum asking #Brazil(ians) if sales of guns and ammunition should be prohibited got 63% “no's,” but the then leftist government ignored the result and proceeded to go with the banning of sales and ammunition and with a national campaign for citizens to disarm themselves, even offering money and asking no person information about the person and the gun upon its hand over. In the same year, the then #SecretaryofJustice (#MinistryofJustice) #MárcioThomazBastos was caught on video saying, THE DISARMAMENT IS NOT AIMED AT DISARMING THE CRIMINAL. IT IS AIMED AT DISARMING THE ACCIDENTAL HOMICIDE. #leftists #guns #firearms #gunban #gunrights
- #Brazil(ian) politicians use the label 'democrat' differently than in the #UnitedStates, and this misalignment of meaning can eventually benefit the left. In a recent interview, where the liberal media took a sentence out of context said by #Bolsonaro, the president said, THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS TO CLOSE [THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA OUTLETS), BUT I WON'T DO THIS BECAUSE I'M A DEMOCRAT. By saying he's a democrat, he gives people who are more exposed to the #mainstreammedia a good impression of this word, eventually leading them to believe a story painting #Democrats as the good guys and on the right side is true news.
- A conservative journalist called #ErnestoLacombe said that secret sources told him Bolsonaro's ex-#SecretaryofJustice (#MinisterofJustice) and leading judge on the #CarWashoperation, #SergioMoro, had information that #Bolsonaro's stabber didn't act alone, but never brought this information to the public nor open any investigation. #carwash #lavajato #lavajatooperation #moro
- The #DepartmentofEducation (#MinistryofEducation, #MEC) started a (leaked) secret investigation on the siphoning of 1 billion reals through #FIES, a gov't student loan program. 20 colleges were using 30% of the money received from the banks as bribes for politicians.
- The #SecretaryofHealth of the State of #SaoPaulo recognized this 15th that the lockdown measures carried out by Governor #Doria were too much, were a mistake. #covid19 #coronavirus
