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.

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." The plan was "developed in consultations with the representatives of the indigenous nations of the Haudenosaunee, the Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Shawnee Tribe, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma."

Wonder when the regime will demand Penn-sylvania change the name of the State?

What gives this regime the right to do things like this?

With this bunch of warmongers, being a pacifist is almost as bad as being MAGA.

Does the mean the leftest governor there changes the state’s name? A good election issue for us if you think about it. Too many busybodies on the left.

This will never stop until they are stopped. Permanently.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Kinda like all the Karen’s.

[Daveinyork]

And the Philly voters will still vote for Biden.

Tear out any pavement, electrical amenities, plumbing, and open it up to primitive bow-hunting.

Since democrat policies create criminals, homeless people and drug addicts why not put up a statue of a drug addicted homeless person pooping on a sidewalk?

Ping.

You’d have to change the name of the state, as you suggest. It means “the land of Penn’s forest”. Down w/ Penn.

And don’t forget Penn State. They’re overrated anyway.

I’m all for it. IF they tear down one of the NA Casinos to commemorate some NA Tribe’s integration into a completely equal society.

Good point! Just how far back should we go in this? How about NOT AT ALL. Geez.

I'm waiting for the wacky-smackys to demand that the state of Illinois change its name to something more appropriate; how about "Home Of Fort Dearborn Massacre, After Some Black Guy With a French Name Camped For A Day While Going Someplace Else".

"HOFDMASGWAFNCFADWGSE" After you say it a few times, it just rolls off the tongue.

That, or Mister Mxyzptlk goes back to his own dimension.

Once we reach maximum white guilt and rehabilitate the whole country we could try giving the whole thing back to the “indigenous” peoples but they probably wouldn’t want it.

Years ago, my dad told me of a guy name Eagan who donated a park in New York to the City. As soon as he died, the politicians changed the name to Roosevelt Park.
So, a guy donated his property along the Palisades to the county with the stipulation that if any attempt was made to change anything, even the name, the park reverted back to the original owners or the heirs. Must have caused a great gnashing of teeth!

Stupid people.

Next target: the statue atop City Hall.

People you need to read the underlying article to figure out the reason they may use to justify. Stop being ignorant.

Penn owned a few slaves at one point.
