Sociology has faced attacks in different parts of the world, and while there are common elements in these attacks, there are also unique issues in each national and regional context. In this work, I analyze the rise and fall of sociology in the school curriculum, highlighting recent attacks, with the main threat represented by conservative movements that have been active in the Brazilian educational field, notably the 'Escola sem Partido' (School without Party). However, in addition to these attacks, I also aim to shed light on the resistances that have occurred, mainly through social movements and scientific associations
