After all, this is an inanimate object...
The symbol, by itself, is not offensive. Neither is the "Jude", the German word for Jew.
The symbol isn't offensive, the fact that people, people who considered themselves good, forced Jews to wear that symbol to single them out for discrimination, abuse, and even death is what is offensive. Not the symbol, the act.
The symbol is now a reminder of that act, a reminder that we can never let it happen again. To attempt to hide or erase that symbol is how we try to forget the act and open the way for a repetition.
