This article is a reflection from the context of the publication of the Measure no. 746, from 2016, that became Bill no. 13,415, in 2017, but also, and mainly, based on the group of former analyses about youth meanings in disputes in the language game on the curriculum policies regarding high school. These analyses were made in a net of investigations, with different epistemological paths, with very close intentions and results. The present reflection highlights one of these analyses, which, through discourse analysis together with Orlandi (2011), analyzed  the Programa Ensino Médio Inovador (ProEMI; Innovative High School Program). These analyses provide visibility to the youth meanings in disputes, and the present reflection understands the interim measure as an attempt to end the dispute.
