Abstract
Abstract The teaching of controversial issues is an important part of democratic education, and the school is a privileged space for the discussion of them, as it allows the encounter with the different. In 2019, the Brazilian federal government established the regulation of homeschooling as the main agenda for Education. The article aims to discuss the feasibility of teaching controversies in homeschooling. For this, a bibliographic investigation is carried out on the teaching of controversial topics and homeschooling and an analysis of legal documents and pro-homeschooling associations. The results indicate that the teaching of controversies is a duty of Brazilian education and incompatible with homeschooling. We conclude that homeschooling constitutes a threat to democratic education and to democracy itself.
