Update: The Coast Guard has reversed course on this policy. That's good, but it shouldn't have required intense public and Congressional scrutiny to make it happen.
Of course swastikas and nooses are hate symbols that Coasties should never display or tolerate.

The U.S. Coast Guard's leadership is either okay with this or completely spineless. This is deeply shameful.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”
