The agency asks to be penalized for spreading false news about the mobilization of teachers from the state and indigenous public schools since January 14, with the occupation of the State Department of Education (Seduc).
The protest revolves around Law 10.820/2024, which alters the Modular Teaching System (Some) and implements the Interactive Education System (SEI), replacing face -to -face classes with a remote model. As reported by Brazil agencythe measure affects not only indigenous but also quilombola students. Criticism of implementation has been ended by state teachers, who have been on strike since January 23 and point out an attempt by the government to precarious the career of teaching.

The governor also stated that ‘100% of indigenous claims were met'”, explains DPU, who argues that the governor’s statements are Inverse and are a form of attack against the original peoples and can encourage discrimination and xenophobia.
The National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples (Funai) is also triggered by DPU to adopt the appropriate administrative and judicial measures to “protect the honor and integrity of indigenous communities affected by false news”.
