Coast Guard Revises Hate Symbol Policy

The Coast Guard is revising its policy on hate symbols, reclassifying the swastika and noose from hate symbols to potentially divisive. This change, effective December 15th, will downgrade these symbols from automatic hate incident designation to a harassment-based standard. The new policy also introduces a 45-day reporting deadline for incidents involving these symbols. Critics argue that this shift could put service members at risk, especially amidst rising antisemitism. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
