 Exchange parity of two coupled identical spins

Exchanging the factors in the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of two equal spins gives the phase $(-1{)}^{2s-j}$. This follows from the exchange symmetry of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. The total exchange parity includes the spatial state and any other internal factors: the spin parity alone does not impose the full symmetrization postulate. For two half-integer spins, even $j$ is spin-antisymmetric and odd $j$ spin-symmetric.
