Swastikas, nooses and Confederate flags designated Coast Guard ‘hate symbols’ after uproar

The Coast Guard clarified its policy, after it reclassified displays of swastikas, nooses and hate symbols as "potentially divisive" rather than "hate incidents."

Diana Stancy is a politics reporter with Fox News Digital covering the White House. 

"Divisive or hate symbols and flags are prohibited," the Coast Guard said in its latest policy. "These symbols and flags include, but are not limited to, the following: a noose, a swastika, and any symbols or flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups as representations of supremacy, racial or religious intolerance, anti-semitism, or any other improper bias."
