Anthropologist and professor Débora Diniz reacts to Bolsonaro's attempted attack on humanities courses in universities, such as philosophy and sociology, noting that "Bolsonaro doesn't have the recognition of professors," "is a braggart," and "wants another 'gay kit' for scandal"; "I've already said: I'm going to be a writer, a teacher in the streets, a full-time tweeter.

247 - Anthropologist and professor Débora Diniz reacted on Twitter to President Jair Bolsonaro's announcement that Education Minister Abraham Weintraub will withdraw funding from humanities courses at universities, such as philosophy and sociology.
She recalls that "Bolsonaro doesn't have the recognition of teachers," "he's a braggart," and "wants another 'gay kit' for scandal." "I've already said: I'm going to be a writer, a teacher in the streets, a full-time tweeter. Humanities in the streets," the researcher insists.
Bolsonaro lacks the support of professors. Fueled by resentment, he threatens to close sociology or philosophy departments at public universities. I feel for the students, but I cheer for democracy.

As a teacher, I will have MORE TIME to write about Bolsonaro's nonsense. pic.twitter.com/TeVzM2GKCq
Bolsonaro is a braggart — he can't even post about golden showers anymore, so he wants another "gay kit" for scandal. This time, he claims there won't be money for humanities. He's already said: I'm going to be a writer, a street teacher, a full-time tweeter. Humanities in the streets. https://t.co/GZL4CP5NYE
