A newly elected lawmaker from the party of Brazils ultra-rightwing president-elect, Jair Bolsonaro, has launched a campaign to encourage students to denounce teachers who complain about his victory.
The call came days after electoral authorities raided university events and classes about fascism on the pretext that they had broken electoral rules, and has raised fears of that Bolsonaros historic victory on Sunday will lead to ideological persecution.
Ana Campagnola, a history teacher, was elected to the state legislature in the southern state of Santa Catarina for Bolsonaros Social Liberal party in the elections first round on 7 October.
On Sunday, she launched her campaign on Facebook, telling her 70,000 followers to be on the lookout for indoctrinator teachers who expressed outrage over Bolsonaros victory.
A WhatsApp number was provided for students to film or record any party-political or ideological expressions that humiliate or offend your freedom of faith and conscience.
