https://youtu.be/adrFt9YDtXII found out yesterday (3/25/2021) that Senator David Kaminsky has decided to withdraw a bill that would require New York schools to teach the Swastika as a symbol of hatred and intolerance. The decision comes against the backdrop of intense public outrage around the bill from the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain communities across New York and the United States, and the negative impact that such a bill may have on students from these traditions who attend New York schools along with those outside of these traditions.
Over 2 Billion people from the Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Native American, and other traditions consider the Swastika and its equivalents as symbols of peace, well-being, and prosperity. Teaching the Swastika as a symbol of hatred rather than the Hakenkreuz (“hooked cross”) – the symbol used by Hitler and Nazi Germany – would further perpetuate the popular misconception about a sacred sign as a sign of death and destruction.
Have a good weekend!
