A Bioethical Analysis of Civic Military Schools in the Federal District

Abstract

This article aims to analyze militarized schools stemming from the 2019 National Civic-Military School Program. Documentary and bibliographic research on the topic was conducted to that effect. Intervention Bioethics provides methodological tools to analyze conflicts when Public Security acquires a role in schools. The discussion instrumentalizes the concepts of Coloniality of Power and Intervention Bioethics as critical tools. Unconstitutional in nature, the militarization of schools follows a political agenda that materializes in the curtailment of rights and a threat to education. It is concluded that the militarization experience promotes an increase in violence in the school environment instead of promoting a culture of peace.
