EU may ban Nazi symbols

After Prince Harry’s little stunt, it seems that the EU is considering an all out ban on synbols Nazi-related.

Now that’s just stupid. In a free, open society, people should be able to both wear offensive things, and be berated for being idiots. That, apparently, isn’t a label I would like to give to an organization like the EU. This seems to me, on a large scale, like an attempt to forget European submission and compliance to the Holocaust. But banning an integral part, albeit a poor one, of European history is in no way going to help heal the wounds. If Europe ever forgets about the Holocaust, how much sooner will they allow it to happen again?
