Biden admin removing William Penn statue in ‘rehabilitation’ of park commemorating founding of Pennsylvania

The National Park Service announced they will be removing a statue of William Penn from a Philadelphia park commemorating his founding of Pennsylvania, situated at his former home.

The “rehabilitation” proposal for Welcome Park is meant to “provide a more welcoming, accurate, and inclusive experience for visitors,” NPS said in a news release. It “includes expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia,” and was developed in collaboration with representatives from the Haudenosaunee, the Delaware Nation, the Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Shawnee Tribe and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.

The park is named for the ship, Welcome, which Penn took to Philadelphia in 1682. The park was established 300 years later.

The call for public feedback on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has already resulted in more than 500 comments.

“Leave the statue right where it is,” one user wrote in response to Independence National Historical Park’s tweet.

“My input is defund and disband the national park service,” another wrote.

Comments can be officially submitted to NPS from Jan. 8 through Jan. 21 through Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) at https://parkplanning.nps.gov.

“Comments submitted through social media, phone calls, email or mail will not be accepted,” NPS said in the release.

Should NPS go through with the proposal, Welcome Park will still have the street grid, the rivers and the east wall, which are aspects of the original design. It would add a planted buffer on three sides, and a gathering space, including circular benches.

Pennsylvania was the first colony to ban slavery, frigging evil Germans!

During the American Revolutionary War, Pennsylvania passed the Gradual Abolition Act (1780), the first such law in the new United States. Pennsylvania law freed those children born to enslaved mothers after that date. They had to serve lengthy indentured servitude until age 28 before becoming free as adults. Emancipation proceeded, and by 1810, fewer than 1,000 captives were in the Commonwealth. None appeared in records after 1847.

Looks like they’re gonna run the PCR (political-correctness racism) test up to a thousand cycles to find the chemical basis for white supremacy. They may also find Hoffa’s corpse that way, and Cher’s talent.

I suspect if it was Afrobiology the outcome would be simian physical characteristics controlled by a tiny reptile brain…but I’m a racist so there’s that…

They did the same thing in the labor camps.
They let anyone be the sondercommando surgeon, well, anyone who was willing to cut into living human flesh that is.

Founding of Pennsylvania

“Due to intense religious persecution of Penn’s Quakers in England, Penn and other prominent Quakers prepared for emigration to America, purchasing West Jersey in 1677 and later East Jersey in 1682.

Penn, in May 1680, petitioned King Charles II for land between Lord Baltimore’s province of Maryland and the province of York belonging to the Duke of York. Penn agreed to forgive the Crown its £16,000 debt due to the Penn family in exchange for land on which to build a colony for England’s persecuted minorities.

On March 4, 1681, King Charles II granted a generous charter to Penn, which was officially proclaimed on April 2, making him the sole proprietor in addition to the Jersey territory they had purchased.

In 1682, the Duke of York, later King James II of England, also gave Penn Delaware a total of more than 16 million acres.

While Penn wanted the new territory named “New Wales” or “Silvania,” King Charles II insisted that it be called Pennsylvania in honor of Penn’s father, the Admiral.

In 1682, another royal grant included what later became the colony of Delaware.”

Solution?

Save time, effort, AND Money!

Sequester the future statues now.
