Brazilian Education has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the contention forms was social distancing, which suspended classes and led to discussions. This research analyzes two movements in Rio Grande do Sul State that are in this dispute, “Mothers and Fathers for democracy” and “Children's place is at school”, aiming to understand the discourses that constitute them and how they are organized. His Instagram posts were analyzed using Foucaultian Studies point of view, focusing on the governmentality concept. It is noted that movements are based on risk management, legitimizing themselves using media, contribution to expert speeches and the defense of children's rights.
