This article addresses the anti-gender discourses in the educational plans from Ceará, Brazil, and how they cross school curricula. We examined the educational legislation of the ten largest municipalities in the State of Ceará and found, in the cities of Fortaleza, Sobral, Juazeiro do Norte, Crato and Quixadá, legislative projects that mentioned the slogan “gender ideology”. Until now, only the municipalities of Juazeiro do Norte and Crato prohibit, in educational legislation, any mention of gender and sexuality, under the premise of being ideological. We also present the ways in which the state curricular policy, through the Ceará Referential Curricular Document, is resisting conservative attacks, trying to promote a plural, fair and diverse education, which dialogues with the needs of the social movements of legal minorities.
Keywords: Curriculum in Ceará. Gender and sexuality. Gender ideology.
