Abstract
The present article aims to explain how religious and structural racism runs through the childhood of black children who practice African religions in the school environment. It is evident how the dominant Christian religions have an influence on the experience among students demonstrated through prejudice and intolerance as well as how educational institutions are unprepared to comply with laws and go against hegemonic colonialist perspectives. We use as support testimonies that ratify the awkward educational system, which reproduces in its daily practices the exclusion and brings the sad reality experienced by the children who find in their yards the emotional and spiritual support necessary to continue in school facing several clashes.
