What did Penn do wrong, not clear from the article, was he white and that is enough cause?

One of William Penn’s rules was from the Bible: “If you don’t work, you don’t eat.”
I’m sure that’s enough to trigger today’s wokesters.

There are not enough statues of famous Indians.

Ah yes, the indigenous nations. Of course.

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

I heard that it was because he owned slaves. Of course it was at a time when owning slaves was commonplace around the world, but context doesn’t matter. In the future, historic figures will be erased for outrages such as they ate meat.
