Education as an indispensable factor for human development assumes a role of paramount
importance in the life of all individuals. So, one wonders: What is the importance of
discussing gender and sexuality in school education, in elementary school? Through this
central problem of study, it was thought as a general objective to understand the
importance of the discussion of the thematic gender and sexuality for the school, political
and social formation. Among the bibliographical sources are the works of Marlucy Paraíso,
Dagmar Meyer, Guacira Louro and Michel Foucault. As a methodology, the study was
based on the post-critical perspective in education, thus, it started from clues and
suspicions pointed out by related scholars, so that other ways of reflecting on the gross
object could be given movement. The study concluded that the curriculum, facing the
tensions that encompass life in society, cannot give up discussing about multiplicity,
diversity and difference. However, we can see in the present times the silencing of
diversity, the hiddenness of multiplicity and the exclusion of bodies and identities. It is
understood that in a curriculum there are many movements that assume political or
ideological character. Given this, the teacher education must lean towards the discovery of
new spaces, spaces of resistance and dissension, proliferating the desire and will for power
that drives the actions of the education professional. So that this desire can extend the
limits of the curriculum, giving it light voice, movement, sexuality, gender and
transversality
