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.
Canada, I'm guessing? We did all sorts of horrible things like that even til the 1990s to the First Nations peoples.
This was done in Hawaii
Are you Spanish? In Spain local languages were forbidden during Franco dictatorship.
