Viviane Morales faces criticism over Colombian education policies

Colombian Education Minister Viviane Morales is facing criticism regarding her approach to educational policies and gender identity. Critics argue that her religious views may influence decisions concerning school coexistence manuals, potentially leading to the restriction of expression for same-sex adolescents.

The debate centers on a cultural shift in the Colombian education system. While previous administrations, including that of Gustavo Petro in Bogotá, promoted sexual education with a gender perspective, the current ministry is viewed by some as initiating a counter-movement against these progressive frameworks. The discussion involves complex ideological debates surrounding queer theory and the influence of international leftist thought on domestic educational standards.
