Yeah, banning Highland dress (kilts) and bagpipes was very much banning culture.
It wasn't so far as schools to 're-educate' a population's children, but....yes, I see Thingol's Ban in that real-life example.
Indeed. Every time we talk about the banning of jewels, I hear Alan Breck Stewart saying, "... and a man can be cast into jail if he has a kilt about his legs."
