Subject: Cancelling William Penn
They say they teach history, but then do stuff like this. The park service is going to get rid of the statue of William Penn...the one that sits at his former house. You can't make this up.

Need more "inclusivity" somehow.

New plans by the National Park Service to renovate Old City’s Welcome Park include removing the centerpiece statue of William Penn permanently, and redesigning the park to highlight Native American history — a move that has angered Pennsylvania’s Republican leadership.

The plan is a major shift considering that the park was built on the site of Penn’s home, the Slate Roof House, and is named for the ship, Welcome, that transported him from England. Penn actually landed first in 1682 near the intersection of the Delaware River and Chester Creek in Chester.


It's not like William Penn is some kind of fire breathing Confederate slaver.
