💨 Abstract
The U.S. Coast Guard has removed references to hate symbols as "potentially divisive" from its policy, following controversy and a senator's hold on a key nomination. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the change, aiming to prevent misrepresentation. Senator Jacky Rosen lifted her hold on Adm. Kevin Lunday's nomination for Coast Guard commandant, expressing reservations but noting the policy now clearly prohibits hate symbols.
