Grajaú, backwoods town of Maranhao is celebrating. Celebrates its 200 years of existence as a city. It is the traditional way, sadly consolidated to recognize the existence of a single human settlement from the arrival of ... 'white'. There indigenous, and many, before the arrival of these strange non-native who began taking account of territories by destroying its forests under the guise of planting and harvesting.
history over these two centuries, was responsible for creating a phase coexistence, although tense and confrontational. Two hundred years, however, seem to have been sufficient time for some people to understand Grajaú it was time to leave racist and barbaric . It happened just in these days in the village Remanso, a few miles from Grajaú. Some residents of the settlement were Remanso to meet the director Alessandra Sousa Albert, the Municipal School Sirino Rodrigues. The reason: to protest and demand that the Director suspend the registration of eight indigenous children in that nation's Guajajara village school. It is good to remember that Remanso consists of families removed from the village of San Pedro clubs, happened in 1996 when the demarcation Final Indigenous Land Canabrava. A conflict that has lasted over twenty years.
the requirement that population was added to the complicity and arrogance of Councilman Leo Sebastian, who endorsed the protest threatening to director. Despite threats Alessandra remained firm . Argued that indigenous children were entitled to study there. A right which the Constitution guaranteed them. What's past feuds and prejudices had to be overcome. Given the strong stance and a citizen of director Alessandra, as well as the director of preschool Cleo Clark, the dissatisfied, accompanied by the 'worthy' councilman, went to the municipal secretary of education, Antonio Carlos dos Santos Carvalho, who at first tried to dissuade them. The rebels threatened to then overturn the school if the Education Department would not take welfare, and the director would go along with Indian children.
indigenous families, embarrassed, not to exacerbate the conflict, re-enrolled their children at two schools in the city of Grajaú: Marlon Araujo and Paulo Ferraz. And the Education Department provides daily transport for them. Now it is expected that federal prosecutors to intervene and punish the 'racist' Grajaú of the crime of racism. Crime that the Federal Constitution of Brazil is unreliable. Unfortunately, the policy of 'reconciliation' adopted by President Mandela in South Africa to 'forgive' and 'build' with their former persecutors a new concept not yet reached this city!
