"William Penn, Founder Of Philadelphia, Gets Canceled In Philadelphia By Biden Admin"

William Penn, the founder of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, is getting canceled in the city he founded.

And it’s coming from above, from the Biden administration.

The Post Millennial explains:

Joe Biden’s National Park Service under Interior Secretary Deb Haaland will remove the statue of William Penn from the park erected in 1982 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of his founding of the colony of Pennsylvania.

The park is on the site of his original home in Philadelphia.

Biden admin to remove statue of William Penn from Philadelphia park and ’rehabilitate’ the park to commemorate Native Americans, by Libby Emmons, January 7, 2024

Note that Penn actually lived on the site of the park, but it doesn’t matter, his statue is to be removed.

The park, located in Philadelphia near the Delaware River at Sansom and Second Streets, will be ”rehabilitated” and that proposal will include an ”expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia.”...

While much of the original design of the park will remain, the statue of Penn and the model of his original home ”will be removed and not reinstalled.” The Park Service claims that at some later date, which is not currently funded, there will be a new exhibit that mentions Penn and his work founding what became the state named for him as well as the city of Philadelphia.

Hey, if it weren’t for William Penn, neither Pennsylvania nor the city of Philadelphia would exist.
