I'll never forget that the US Government once felt comfortable enough telling Native US Citizens that they had to stop speaking their own born in America language (Cajun French) and learn English or be heavily punished by being denied access to all government programs and benefits, including schooling (aka, you become a criminal because of truancy laws).

But those were just silly white people, so everyone just laughed at the backwoods coonasses getting dabbed on by the Fed.
