When ever I see someone drew a swastika I turn it into a little house with a roof, a door, a window, and depending on how long I have to draw I will add a chimney and sometimes a little cat or dog on the side maybe even some rose bushes lol.
In my first year of college I was taking health and one day I was staying after to talk with he teacher but he was with someone else so I had to sit and wait. On the chair next to me I see a swastika. But I didn't have a pen to "fix it". I told the teacher while I was waiting I notice someone drew a swastika on that chair. He got angry, see I didn't even know that he is Jewish. So he said he take the chair out the class till it can be cleaned. I said hold on do you have a pen I can borrow? I took his pen and drew the little house and said there you go now it is rated E lol he said he never thought to do that and he will do that from than on. He said he liked my way of thinking taking something ugly and turning it into something happy.
Just connect the outer lines so it looks like a box with 4 boxes in it. Than add stuff to it make one box a window one box a door add a triangle for a roof add what ever you want so it looks like a little 2 level house lol.

Pretty sure a few of those are construction symbols...
It was originally a Native American symbol and was at one point used by a group of American armed forces. He stole it (sorta kinda. It is a simple and used in many places symbol. I think it's in Hindu culture as well) so there isn't really anything wrong with teaching them the symbol as long as you berate them for being evil bastards using a symbol stolen from non-evil purposes for such depraved meanings.
The word swastika itself is Sanskrit. It's widespread across the Indian subcontinent and other parts of South Asia. (I can't find anything anywhere about it being a Native American symbol on a reliable site, so I don't if that's true). The Nazis took if from India, because it's connected to Vedas, the oldest books from North India, where the ancient Indians called themselves the Aryans, which means noble. The Nazis hijacked a religious symbol and the identity of an ethnicity
As I said in my comment it's a super simple shape that a lot of cultures use. I wouldn't be surprised if we found it in some dig in the future somewhere random like Siberia or something. Also have a gander at the google looking for whirling log. That's one of many native uses of it. It's also seen in old european stuff as well.
