This article presents an ethnographic test of reproductionist apprcaches to the role of educational ideologies in complex societies. Recent reproductionist theory has argued that one of the most important roles that schools play in complex societies is the perpetuation of class structures. Of major significance here is the ability of schools to force the acceptance of values supportive of such structures upon the community. This process has been described as symbolic violence. Using data from an inner city preschool in Washingtom, D. C., this paper suggests that it is the structure of schooling which plays the dominant role in processes of stratification and that the role of ideology appears to be far more problematic than reproductionist theory would suggest
