| Sumario: | In Mexico, recent governments have made progress in formally recognizing human rights and diversity —including sexual diversity— in the content of free textbooks. However, the implementation of a legislative framework and a set of educational reforms have been a source of dispute with conservative and reactionary civil society organizations such as the National Union of Parents of Families. In this context, the objective of this study is to comprehensively reconstruct the anti-rights stance deployed by the UNPF in the context of the implementation of the human rights paradigm in the field of education in Mexico. To this end, a human rights approach and a method of political discourse analysis in education are employed. The central argument is that this organization has played a key role, with veto power, in defining the educational agenda, especially regarding the content of free textbooks, adopting a political, legal, and ethical discourse to maintain its conservative thinking. |
