Symbols are significant to us because they have a certain meaning, true. Although they only have as much importance as we give them. Symbols of hate should be acknowledged and then dismissed; in doing so they are given less power.

Completely ignoring such a problem will not make it go away. Such a mentality as "it's only illegal if you get caught"; doesn't make it right, doesn't mean it never happened. Recognize a wrongdoing and then move on. Don't fuel the fire with debates over why it happened. Allow it to go away on it's own.
