A terrorist's bedside item in Norway is the inspiration for the new coordinator of the ENEM (Brazilian National High School Exam).
Murilo Resende Ferreira, who will assume the directorship of basic education assessment at INEP, which oversees the ENEM exam, produced a poorly done translation of a 1992 article by American author Michael Minnicino, for which he was accused of plagiarism; the article is one of the founding texts of the conspiracy theories that led Anders Breivik to commit an attack in Norway, where he killed 77 people and injured 319 others in 2011.
247 - The directorate for basic education assessment (Daeb) at Inep, the body responsible for administering the Enem exam, will be headed, under the Bolsonaro government, by Murilo Resende, who holds a doctorate in economics from FGV and has been a university professor in Goiás since 2015. In recent days, Murilo's name has been involved in a... accusation of plagiarismHowever, as it later became clear, the accusation is a lesser problem than the content of the aforementioned article.
This is a text by the American Michael Minnicino, entitled "The New Dark Age: The Frankfurt School and 'Political Correctness'". In Portuguese, it was published more as a poorly adapted translation with the title... "The Frankfurt School: Satanism, Ugliness, and Revolution", in a previously unknown digital magazine dedicated to reactionary agendas.
Minnicino's article is one of foundational texts of conspiracy theories that led Anders Breivik to commit two attacks in Norway on July 22, 2011, where he killed 77 people and injured another 319, mostly teenagers. At the time, the far-right militant released a manifesto which pointed to, among other things, a conspiracy by cultural Marxists.
Resende was once a student in an online course taught by the writer Olavo de Carvalho, considered a guru of the right wing and responsible for the nomination of Ricardo Vélez Rodríguez to the position of Minister of Education. His biography also includes his expulsion from the MBL (Free Brazil Movement) in Goiás, which accused him of being "completely insane."
