"Brazilian parents Audato and Ieda Denardi have been sentenced to 50 days in prison for homeschooling their daughters. The parents were convicted of “intellectual neglect”, with the judge stating that the home education curricula failed to include programs on “gender and sex education” and “tolerance and diversity.”
The court also concluded that because the girls, aged 15 and 11, did not like “trap” or “sertanejo” (folk) music, their home curriculum had also failed to properly educate them in cultural diversity, despite the fact that they are both accomplished pianists and speak multiple languages."
"Ainda segundo a defesa, entre os argumentos usados pelo magistrado estaria a fala de uma das adolescentes que disse não gostar de estilos musicais como funk e sertanejo. A afirmação teria sido interpretada como demonstração de “suposta discriminação e preconceito na educação” domiciliar ministrada pelos pais, que foram condenados criminalmente."
That is:
"According to the defense, one of the arguments used by the judge was a statement made by one of the teenage girls, who said she did not like musical genres such as funk and sertanejo. The statement was reportedly interpreted as evidence of “alleged discrimination and prejudice in the home education” provided by her parents, who were convicted of a criminal offense."
This is a claim made by the defense attorney in the appeal, and was not, from what I can tell, a conclusion determined by the court.
I was not able to find anyone linking to the court's judgement.
The 50 days in semi-open detention was later replaced by alternative measures.
From what I can tell,
"Regime fechado" (closed regime) means the sentence in a maximum or medium security establishment;
"Regime semiaberto" (semi-open) means its in an agricultural, industrial or similar establishment colony
"Regime aberto" (open) is in a sheltered house or appropriate establishment.
I can't think of a US English equivalent to "regime semiaberto", but it seems less than what we think of with "jail". Like, https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regime_semiaberto links to an article describing how in the US "Programas tais como o regime semiaberto têm diminuído no país, não existindo as chamadas "saidinhas" temporárias, tão comuns no Brasil." ("Programs such as the semi-open prison system have been on the decline [in the US], and the so-called temporary "day passes," which are so common in Brazil, no longer exist")
> Wow, that is certainly going around the right-wing Christian news sites, almost all with the same copy.
Or to put it in other words, it's being ignored by all other news sites. One would think treating children as property of the state, and requiring explicit indoctrination in "tolerance and diversity", would warrant more attention from our media that is so concerned with authoritarianism.
> one of the arguments used by the judge was a statement made by one of the teenage girls [..] This is a claim made by the defense attorney in the appeal, and was not, from what I can tell, a conclusion determined by the court.
So it was not a conclusion, but the reasoning used to reach the conclusion. I don't see how that's any better.

I found some Brazilian coverage. https://www.gazetadopovo.com.br/vida-e-cidadania/juiz-que-co... says something somewhat different than the text you copied:

Also:

How do you know that Western Christian outlets are reporting the story accurately?
