This sounds like a lead trial balloon that exploded when it landed.
The U.S. Coast Guard issued a more stringent policy on hate symbols, prohibiting “divisive or hate symbols or flags.”

Retailers do this all the time -- prices get jacked up, then they announce a sale or discount to bring them back down, but never back to or below their original levels. And they promote it as a big money saving deal, like, say "Prime Day" or something.
