Until the Federal Supreme Court (STF) reaches a decision, Brazil will be waiting to hear if the Brazilian Constitution prohibits setting a National Salary Floor for the country's teachers. This may appear absurd but it is true: in the name of each state's autonomy, five governors have petitioned the STF to declare Law 11.738/2008 unconstitutional.

But....but....but....many states cannot afford to pay a minimum salary of US$ 400.- for teachers who by definition have a higher than average education !!!!
Well that is typically the Brazilian contradiction !
By contradiction I mean the usual Brazilian BIG LIES !
