Abstract
This essay aims to present some reflections regarding Bill # 193/2016, also known as the “Non-partisan School” Bill, which intends to typify, reprehend and punish ideological “harassment” in schools. We start our reflections supported by the contributions of Maurício Tragtenberg to analyze the linkages between ideology and bureaucracy in organizations, scope in which we also include schools insofar as they are the operatory instances of the formal schooling system; such choice happens due to their embeddedness within the State itself. Afterwards, we seek to deepen these issues through the conceptual apparatus of Pierre Bourdieu to highlight how such structure is engendered towards the reproduction of ideological models belonging to determined dominant classes. Thus, our argument for theoretical analysis is underpinned on the interest of certain classes to take hold of the State as well as of the formal schooling system and, after that, to outline schools’ syllabuses, the contents to be taught, with the goal to build social consensus driven to a specific orientation.
