"I'm no Nazi, says mom of 7-year-old with swastika"
Manitoba mother now fighting to get kids back after seizure by province
long story short (well, not that short) - the kid went to school with a swastika drawn on her arm and people freaked out leading child services to removed the children (the 7-year-old as well as a 2-year-old) from the home. there are allegation of poor "behavious and associations" as well as drug/alcohol use in the home but that infor came out after the children had been removed due to the swastika incident. the woman did confess herself to have a personal belief in white pride... i'm not condoning white pride but, since when does the government have sway on how you raise your kids? and when did political beliefs become cause for taking children into protective custody?
the real point: the swastika has bad publicity
the nazis in WWII ruined it for everybody. well, at least everyone in the western world... it is still used all over asia (and in many other societies and cultures) as a symbol of good luck. the meaning of the word swastika comes from the sanskrit svastik, meaning any lucky or auspicious object.
