Coast Guard Reverses Policy on Hate Symbols

The US Coast Guard has changed its policy back to what it was before.

Before, it said that swastikas and nooses were very bad and not allowed.

But then, it said these symbols were just 'potentially divisive,' which made people very upset.

So, the Coast Guard changed it back to say these symbols are not allowed.

Some important people in the government were also upset and said the Coast Guard should not say these symbols are just 'divisive.'

The Coast Guard's boss said the old rule against these symbols is still in effect, and the new, confusing language is gone.

The government department that oversees the Coast Guard said they removed the confusing language so people wouldn't misunderstand the Coast Guard's rules.
