Coast Guard ‘doubles down’ against hateful symbols

(WASHINGTON) — The U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday announced the release of a policy and lawful order that doubles down on its current policies prohibiting the display, distribution or use of hate symbols by Coast Guard personnel.

The policy and lawful order provides clear definitions, guidance and expectations for Coast Guard personnel. It describes prohibited hate symbols in alignment with military policy.

This is not an updated policy but a new policy to combat any misinformation and double down that the Coast Guard forbids these symbols.

The policy and lawful order can be viewed here.
