[EN] In this article the way in which current neo-fascism is penetrating
education is analysed. For this purpose, a case study sample of three
prominent figures was chosen linked to the Conservative Political Action
Conference (CPAC), an organisation that has woven global networks and
managed to have an important political presence worldwide: Steve Bannon
(USA), Javier Milei (Argentina) and Santiago Abascal (Spain). The
research methodology used was Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA),
examining the texts and documents produced by these figures regarding
the debates on education. The results show a basic similarity, albeit
centred on different specific focuses: a) the warning of a leftist threat in
education, sometimes characterised as an effect of ‘cultural Marxism’; b)
a generalised rejection of educational proposals that seek to address
cultural differences within schools and particularly with regard to sex
education policies and the critical analysis of ethnic and cultural
relations; c) a commitment to the ‘freedom’ of choice of individuals and
families with regard to education, which consists of a project of
educational privatisation. The conclusions of this research reflect the solid
constitution of an international network of educational neo-fascism with a common agenda, with different implementation depending on the
geographical and political context.SIThis research received funding from the European Union through the European Erasmus + Project, Jean Monnet Module, entitled "Building up an Inclusive and Democratic Europe through a Dialogical Co-Creation of Intercultural Solutions to the Rise of Neo-Fascism and Xenophobia".
