Rodnei Ferraz, a former doorman for a private school in Campinas, Brazil, expressed his humiliation after being racially insulted by students. He reported that three teenage students used derogatory terms such as 'dirty black', 'monkey', and 'sub-race' during their encounter while they were present for recovery exams at the school. Despite his complaints to the school administration about the insults he received, Ferraz claims he was subsequently fired from his job, which has left him feeling disempowered and outraged at the situation.

The racist abuse directed at Ferraz underscores ongoing issues regarding discrimination in educational environments, particularly within establishments that aim to provide a quality education. The incident, which occurred in December 2025, has since been documented in a police report and is currently under investigation. The school, Colégio Objetivo, has been contacted for a statement regarding the incident but has not yet responded, leaving the community and stakeholders awaiting the administration's perspective.

This incident not only highlights the personal trauma experienced by individuals like Ferraz but also raises broader questions about institutional responses to racism and protective measures for staff members, especially in private educational settings. As the investigation unfolds, it will be crucial to see whether the school implements any changes or policies aimed at preventing similar occurrences in the future.
