TL;DR
- Escola Sem Partido filed a public civil action to annul the Enem essay exam.
- The lawsuit targets the theme "The valorization of the Unified Health System (SUS) as a universal right," alleging it induces a pro-SUS position.
- The association claims the theme violates freedom of thought, equality of conditions, and the ideological neutrality of public administration.
- Supporting texts provided with the essay also allegedly presented only positive aspects of the SUS, lacking critical arguments.
- The group fears candidates opposed to the SUS may have suppressed their opinions to avoid point deductions.
- The lawsuit requests the immediate suspension of essay grading and, if denied, seeks to prohibit the disclosure or use of grades in university selection processes.
- The association's director, Miguel Nagib, noted past legal challenges against Enem and other educational institutions.
- Nagib cited a previous victory where a rule penalizing essays disrespectful to human rights was suspended.
- Another cited victory involved a lawsuit against IFMG regarding student access to mobile phones.
