William Penn may have founded the state of Pennsylvania but the iconic historic figure could soon find himself canceled by the leftist cultural revolution that has wormed its way into the highest corridors of government.
In a move that would be expected from totalitarian religious zealots like ISIS or the Taliban, President Joe Biden’s National Park Service plans to remove Penn’s statue from Philadelphia’s Welcome Park, a site that has become very unwelcoming to white “colonizers” like Penn under radical Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.
The agency will be seeking input on the “rehabilitation” of Welcome Park, another of the authoritarian left’s Orwellian terms that mask its extremism, in this case, the ongoing cultural cleansing of the nation’s identity.

“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.,” the NPS announced in a Friday statement.
“The reimagined Welcome Park maintains certain aspects of the original design such as the street grid, the rivers and the east wall while adding a new planted buffer on three sides, and a ceremonial gathering space with circular benches. The Penn statue and Slate Roof house model will be removed and not reinstalled. In a separate and future effort, new exhibit panels will be installed on the south side wall to replace the Penn timeline,” the federal agency added.

So “our democracy” means tearing down statues of William Penn while prosecuting those who tear down statues of Satan.
Realize where we are. https://t.co/twxm7vHvYa

This is all part of the Great Replacement.
Democrats want you to forget where we came from so they can rewrite history.
That’s why they’re tearing down important statues, taking away our rights and allowing in record numbers of illegals.
Our country is on the edge of oblivion.

This is the socialist playbook to remove history and culture from the society they wish to “remake”.

How to erase a country: remove its history, its identity…remove its borders.

I’m confused. Wasn’t it supposed to be just about the Confederates?

What the hell is going on in Philadelphia??!
First the Kate Smith statue gets removed, and now even William Penn is being taken down on the site of his home???
The Rocky statue will be gone soon. After all, he got Apollo Creed killed…

It makes sense if you think about it. Most Democrats these days are trying to abolish the first amendment (among others), and the Penn monument is a symbol of those represented liberties. They can’t have that if they are to be successful in their abolishment efforts. Make sense?

Melt down the Liberty Bell, use the bronze to make a George Floyd statue!

The Biden Administration is taking down a statue of William Penn. Not Robert E Lee, not Stonewall Jackson, but William Penn. These people hate America, there’s no doubt anymore. https://t.co/ZHVrJ8GkQ9

This is what the Biden regime really thinks about the country’s forefathers.
Unlike the lies Biden told a couple of nights ago about Valley Forge.

The takedown of Penn’s statue once again shows that former President Donald J. Trump was right.
“This week it’s Robert E. Lee. I notice that Stonewall Jackson’s coming down. I wonder; is it George Washington next week, and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?” Trump warned in 2017 as Civil War statues and monuments were being destroyed, many with the sanctioning of Democratic party leaders.
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past,” wrote George Orwell in his dystopian novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” which was published in 1949 and seems to be the working playbook for Democrats and their minions in post-Obama America.
