The U.S. Coast Guard has reversed course on its controversial move to reclassify the Nazi-era swastika insignia and nooses as “potentially divisive,” following widespread backlash.
The Washington Post first picked up on the policy change, which was written earlier this month and was set to take effect on Dec. 15. Just hours later, the Post’s Pentagon correspondent Tara Copp reported that the Coast Guard had released a new policy late Thursday that re-establishes that it “specifically sees swastikas and nooses as hate symbols” and that they are “expressly prohibited.”
