No, but I think for something as profound as the swastika it's important. Lack of education is a huge problem. Ignore the swastikas, how many people think Christopher Columbus is some amazing person? We have a day celebrating someone who is arguably comparable to Hitler just because he "discovered" America. History is taught in such a disgusting pick and choose fashion, I don't see how you think education isn't part of the problem.
