Coast Guard denies report it won’t classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The Post reported the branch, part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), will classify swastikas, widely recognized as a symbol of the German Nazi Party and linked to the killing of millions of Jews, as “potentially divisive,” along with the Confederate flag and nooses, citing documents it obtained.

“The following is a non-exhaustive list of symbols whose display, presentation, creation, or depiction would constitute a potential hate incident: a noose, a swastika, supremacist symbols, Confederate symbols or flags, and antiSemitic symbols, among many others,” the Coast Guard said in the guidance.

“The display of these type symbols constitutes a potential hate incident because hate based groups have co-opted them as symbols of supremacy, racial intolerance, religious intolerance, or other bias,” the service said. ”Symbols can be presented as images, on any type of material or clothing, as words or numbers, and, in any combination.”
