Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro, a former paratrooper, established state-run military public schools in response to school violence, drug trafficking and poor academic performance. Seven schools, 7,000 students, in high crime areas are run by military police who deal only with discipline and administrative matters. Forty more by the end of the year. Students march to classrooms single file -- hair short for the boys, a bun for the girls. They wear uniforms,"very moderate" accessories, stand each day for the national anthem and receive civics classes. Violence is down, grades are up, students feel safer. Liberals are screaming bloody murder, but offer no solution to the nation wide school crises.
