It depends. Most Villages houses have two wall switches in the bedrooms, one controls a wall outlet, and the other controls the ceiling fan and/or ceiling light. The electrical code requires that the room have at least one switched lighting outlet. So, you could remove one of the wall switches and still comply with the code. But, I think the best option for the OP is to buy a plastic cover designed to disable the switch, as other posters have suggested. Amazon has several different products that will do this.
