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."

Pencilvania voted for it.
HE campaigned on all of this:
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD——
So what?
“...The plan was “developed in consultations with the representatives of the indigenous nations..”
Give the state back to indians..they’d run it better.
Um, Penn was actually a lot nicer to the Indians than most colonists or colonizers. He was a Quaker, after all, and a good symbol and inspiration for America.
That isn’t an excuse to wipe out history.
My dad also said, ‘Ya can’t beat City Hall.’
Wonder when the regime will demand Penn-sylvania change the name of the State?
Wiping out history.
They can’t find another spot to build their Native American park? They have to build it on an existing site? Rhetorical question.
Those native Americans slaughtered white settlers in the Wyoming Valley north of Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War.
Maybe those Indians with their profitable casinos should be paying reparations to the white folks in the WyomingValley.
This Obama/Biden Administration is destroying the nation.
Curious about that!
Do you have a citation for it?
I know about a couple of Delaware (Lenni Lanape) scouts that worked for the US Army. Shawnee working for the Mexican Army’ I’d like to know more. During Spanish colonial rule or Mexican Republic times?
“Please pick up the white courtesy phone.”
Why does the courtesy phone have to be white, you racist???!!! /s
The left’s never-ending culture war.
Cowabunga! Will this crap ever stop?
GOP candidates in PA should ask Dem opponents if they support the state being named after a “colonizer” and if how will they govern Leftists who want to change the name of the state.
BTW, they are removing his home too
Wait wait, that is history and no use in the replacement program.
Pretty soon America will have been discovered by black Africans just canoeing around.
