This looks like a clear-cut violation of the Equal Protection Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Since they put up a cross at the 9/11 Memorial that was formed by the collapsed girders of the World Trade Center, how can they deny a place at the memorial for a swastika that was similarly formed? You neo-Nazis need to get hold of the ACLU!
9/11 MEMORIAL CURATORS DECIDE NOT TO DISPLAY SWASTICA FORMED BY TWISTED GIRDERS FOUND AT GROUND ZERO

NEW YORK—Despite the surprising coincidence of finding a perfectly formed swastika amidst the broken girders of the Twin Towers, 9/11 memorial curators have opted not to display the symbol, choosing instead to leave it in the storage facility where it has been located for the past 10 years. "On the one hand, it's pretty miraculous that there was a precisely shaped 80-by-80-foot swastika found in the rubble of the fallen World Trade Center, but in the end, we decided not to include it in our plans for the museum," said memorial spokesman Stanley Morgenstern, adding that it would probably be seen as inappropriate. "Although you've got to admit that it is pretty incredible. Mathematically, what are the odds? It's amazing but, perhaps, not right for what we are trying to achieve with the museum." Upon hearing the news, neo-Nazi groups have complained about the exclusion, arguing that the giant swastika is "a sign from heaven" and that "9/11 affected all Americans, including those who believe in the inherent genetic superiority of the Aryan race."
