Oregon recognizes Nazi symbol is different from Swastika

The Oregon department of education has taken a "monumental decision" in officially recognizing the distinction between the Nazi hakenkreuz and the sacred Swastika.

Prior to the Third Reich, swastikas in the US were not "verboten" symbols.

And this is a problem... why?

#2 Because the NAZIs and their defenders are fragile snowflakes who are offended by people with morals.

I was in Oregon for a couple weeks in June and never saw a swastika. Huh. Go figure.

You see swastikas on all sorts of postcards demo the very early 1900s. It was taken then in the US to be a good luck symbol. For example: commons.wikimedia.org

Hi Doc Sarvis

Good stuff. I wanted to cite those stamps you mentioned, but I was unable to locate them through my searches. The other imagery I was unable to find were some musicians and hippies at Woodstock wearing swastika pendants (nicht der hakenkreuzen).
