I think it is a useful exercise to imagine a sudden change wherein
your own native way of expressing particular concepts is rendered
verboten all of a sudden.
Out here in the Pacific Northwest, we have the Warm Springs museum,
wherein the local Warm Springs tribe, using income from a resort /
casino (popular, family friendly) documents in a state-of-the-art
museum those dark days when the know-betters invaded, took their
children into boarding schools, and returned them as robot-zombies,
duly "reformed" (Christianized or whatever).
Parent: "f(x)?"
Brainwashed child: "You are a savage, dad. You will not force me to
learn 'f(x)' or any of your godforsaken / heathen 'mathematics'?
Parent: What? Who told you that?
Child: Lands' End
