And they are told all the time at school what language they should speak in private conversations.

:huh:

Who is the "they" you are referring to here.

Ide, what's with all the posting in French lately?  Francais est la langue des homosexuelles.

Trying to learn it, in my customary desultory manner.
well you're not allowed, since as I pointed out it's a lesbian language. :)

Threads about the French in Canada always deliver.

Apparently, so can Ide, after his surgery.

That's not true, and part of the reason why he can't ever be a lesbian.

students in elementary school, and even high school.  Are kids allowed to swear in BC schools?  Definately not here.  Can't tell your teacher to "fuck off" either.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Again I find it very interesting that you equate telling a teacher to "fuck off" to speaking english in private.

All the homosexuals in Montreal told me to take it up.

I can draw all the nazi symbols I want in my books at home, I could not do that at school. 

In our public schools, at least when I attended, we weren't supposed to draw anything in our textbooks, beacuse they were public property that we had use of until the end of the school year, not our personal property.  Same thing for books checked out of the school library--we didn't own them as individuals, so we weren't supposed to mark them up.  A lot of us did mark them in one way or another, at times, and got into trouble for doing so.  But if someone drew Nazi (or communist, or phallic) symbols in the schoolbooks, they didn't get in any more trouble than they did for drawing stickfigures, or pictures of automobiles.  But we got in trouble for defacing public property, not for the content of what we drew.

And if we brought a book from home to read in study hall or the like, we could draw whatever we wanted in it (at least as far as the school was concerned--our parents might been another matter entirely).
