The only think I can think of is that he was an evil white colonizer.

Perhaps we might contact one of the local Moscow scrapyards and find out if we might purchase (for a song) one of the innumerable statues or busts of Joseph Stalin that have been relegated to the dump, usefully repurposing same in the spirit of Biden’s solidarity with the proletariat and international Marxism? Perhaps we could replace the Penn statue, for all to see and worship? Would be fitting for a totalitarian like Biden.

When Penn is gone, crime and poverty rates will go down and SOLS in public schools will go up?

They’ll rename it Transylvania and put up a statue of a lady boy.

So, the Shawnee and Delaware tribes are whining? How about some history!
French and Indian Wars, Conspiracy of Pontiac1750s-1765

The Quaker Pennsylvania Legislature, in the 1760s was so pacifist and pro-Indian that the citizens had to pile their murdered family members in the doorway to force the Quaker legislators to walk over them, and finally call out the militia to protect the settlers from Indian attacks.

This was about the time the FIRST SCHOOL HOUSE MASSACRE took place in Pennsylvania, caused by Delaware Indians. Google The Enoch Brown Massacre of 1764.
https://pabook.libraries.psu.edu/literary-cultural-heritage-map-pa/feature-articles/enoch-brown-massacre-unmatched

The Shawnees and others, after being moved to Oklahoma, made a great reputation by being SCALPHUNTERS, killing Apaches for Mexican Gold!

Google the name James Kirker, Scalphunter

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Kirker

“In December 1839, Kirker was given a contract by the government of Chihuahua to fight Apaches. He was authorized to raise 200 men and would be paid for Apache prisoners.[3] The core group of his force was about 25 men, called “Sahuanos” (Shawnees) which included Anglos, Mexicans, escaped Black slaves and Shawnee, Delaware, and Creek Indians, including his second in command, a Shawnee named Spybuck.[4]”

Careful, you’re spouting historical fact so it’s in the memory hole you go.

A godly and decent man, true to his Quaker beliefs, by all accounts. That plus he was white is enough to disqualify him from any respect

Pathetic. Welcome park was the site of Penn’s home, it probably was NOT the site of any significant Native American inhabitation since it is a little too far from the river and not along any other tributary. So basically they are scrubbing the actual history of that specific site and replacing it with the “possible” history of sites hundreds of feet away.

“indigenous nations”

They are being used as a tool by Progressives nothing more. They too will see the bottom of the memory hole soon.

“When will the destruction stop?”

Better question is - Who will stop the destruction?

Do you see anyone rising up to the task?

To honor LQBTQ+, perhaps it can be renamed Transylvania?

From my limited knowledge of Quakers I believe they are both abolitionists and pacifists.

Actually, the Quakers could be very violent. The Mason-Dixon line, despite what most people think, was a line of separation dividing the region by religion, so as to protect Catholics from the fairly aggressive Quakers of the day.

I think Obama is 10x smarter than Joe and hates how Joe and handlers are handling what he left for them to do. Obama is TOO polished to do what Joe is doing and I believe is actively involved in Biden’s downfall. The ONLY way Joe is put out to pasture is to bring in Michelle and that is what I think is about to happen. Watch the media close during the next few days for Michelle Obama stories to pop-up. Word has been put out and it’s full speed ahead.

So you're saying that Obama wants the place destroyed, but not this quickly because that's making it backfire. To fix matters, he sees he has to move out Biden and replace him with Michelle to slow the process down which will cool off matters and allow it to resume proceeding smoothly toward hell on earth as it was doing during Obama's two terms. I just want to clarify what you're saying because you're coming across, in NYPD Blue speak, that Obama is some type good guy in all this.

What was William Penn’s crime?

Well, first off, he was "White". Then, he was "Male". I think that is enough, nowadays, to get yourself "cancelled". The lame reason, I believe, was a lack of "inclusivity".

Our history is being destroyed right in front of out eyes.
