Manoel Bergström Lourenço Filho (March 10, 1897, Porto Ferreira, Brazil – August 3, 1970, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) was a Brazilian educator and education theorist.
He was heavily criticized for collaborating with Getúlio Vargas' Estado Novo. His work reveals several facets of the intellectual educator, extremely active and concerned about the school in its social context and classroom activities. Lourenço Filho was a supporter of eugenics, who believed that white people were superior to black people, concluding by means of "researches" that skin color was directly related to intellectual ability, saying that black children should study in separate rooms from white children.
