Why the reversal? Because this is an election for the DemonCrats. Traitorous, open borders, history denying, scum that they are.
Charge the left with wanting to change the name of the entire state. Run with it. Go to work.
Instead we’ll breathe a sigh of relief that the statue’s still there.
It’s a game of attack and our leaders draw the line at following Trump-they won’t follow.
Look, rich people owned slaves in those days. Get over it. I recall a black man owning them too.
The statue, which was erected to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Penn’s founding of the colony of Pennsylvania, will be replaced by educational offerings about the history of Native American tribes, the NPS said.
“The proposed rehabilitation of Welcome Park includes expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia and was developed in consultation with 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,” it said.
“The Penn statue and Slate Roof house model will be removed and not reinstalled,” the park service said.
“In a separate and future effort, new exhibit panels will be installed on the south site wall to replace the Penn timeline,” it said.
Members of the public were encouraged to provide feedback on the plans through a controlled public forum.
However, a post on the X platform by the Independence National Historical Park was met with an overwhelmingly negative reaction.
“...the site of the park was given to them in the 1700s and remains theirs...”
Given to them by whom? They may as well contend that ALL of the North American continent is theirs. /spit
I’m so relieved the wokesters allowed us to keep the statue. Do you thing we can keep George Washington and Abraham Lincoln also?
They’ll get rid of it eventually, if not today, then next week. Leftist evil never rests.
I’ve always been a fan of the National Park Service. I even worked for the Park Service for a few years. Who the hell gave the Zero G Rangers the authority to tear down a statue of William Penn? The clown that started this attack on American history needs his/her/it/they’s ass fired. Little Rogue Bonehead Rangers. There needs to be an investigation into what was going on here. If non-Americans don’t like the statue, BAN THE BASS TURDS FROM VISITING OUR PARK!
Just REMOVE current democrats
It’s safe...for now.
Still nobody with the guts to topple the statue of Lenin in Seattle after all this time. The left has been on full offense and there is never any in kind retaliation.
The name of the state should be changed to Pottsyvania, the fictional Communist East Bloc country in the old Bullwinkle cartoons.
Hoq dumb can Pa. Administrators be? Instead of destroying Will’s Sculpture why not just add other Sculptures of Native Americans or whomever to the area for taxpayers to visit? What bunch of dummies!
The confederacy of tribal nations contends the site of the park was given to them in the 1700s and remains theirs.
Biden just pissed off another group of people that aren’t woke snow flakes.
This country is acting like lemmings, why this desire to self-destruct? It is a particular phenomenon of this country
In other words, this is a temporary stop until the heat is off and elections are over.
