It’s not enforced by my schools, but when I was little, speaking local languages at school was forbidden. It’s getting better now, but at that time, only the official language was allowed.
Another rule was boys weren’t allowed to wear longer hairs. If the hairline was below the ears, they would be asked to cut it shorter. From time to time, boys from my class were forced to cut their hair during classes with the company of a teacher.

Are you Spanish? In Spain local languages were forbidden during Franco dictatorship.
banning local languages was also done by my local government around 50ish years ago. in every school. take a wild guess at where I’m from?
(no, I’m not dutch despite being on feddit.nl)
Canada, I’m guessing? We did all sorts of horrible things like that even til the 1990s to the First Nations peoples.
Taiwan actually. They banned anything other than Mandarin.
This was done in Hawaii
