The São Paulo Prosecutor's Office and the Public Defender's Office have initiated judicial action to stop the implementation of rules established by the government of Tarcísio de Freitas regarding civic-military schools. In their filing, they claim that the regulations violate the Brazilian Federal Constitution and the Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education (LDB) in several aspects. The institutions assert that these rules threaten the educational framework and seek an immediate response from the State Secretary of Education, although no comment has been received at the time of the report.

Additionally, the Prosecutor's Office is requesting a prohibition on retired police officers from teaching or delivering any project content in classrooms, aiming to restore autonomy and control of classes to educators. According to the lawsuit, the state law that established civic-military schools does not authorize police officers to provide instruction. However, the plaintiffs cite instances where this has occurred, including a case of an officer who was filmed conducting some form of teaching activity within a school.

This legal action raises significant questions about the intersection of education and public safety in São Paulo, as the involvement of police in educational environments has been a contentious issue. The move to question the legality of allowing police officers to teach suggests a broader concern regarding the militarization of schools and its impact on the educational experience of students. The outcome of this lawsuit could have lasting implications for the structure of civic-military education in Brazil and the role of law enforcement within academic settings.
