🇧🇷 Brazilian parents Adauto and Ieda Denardi were sentenced to 50 days in prison for “intellectual neglect” after homeschooling their 11- and 15-year-old daughters without state-approved programs on gender, sexuality, diversity, and tolerance. The ruling ignored an independent psychologist’s report, extensive academic records, and even the prosecutors’ recommendation for acquittal. The daughters were documented reading 30 books a year and studying Latin, English, piano, and music theory. The judge cited the girls’ lack of exposure to mainstream music genres like funk, trap, and sertanejo as evidence of cultural isolation. It is the first criminal conviction for homeschooling in Brazil, where the practice exists in a legal gray area.
