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."

While much of the original design of the park will remain, the statue of Penn and the model of his original home "will be removed and not reinstalled." The Park Service claims that at some later date, which is not currently funded, there will be a new exhibit that mentions Penn and his work founding what became the state named for him as well as the city of Philadelphia.

These are literally THE worst people put into official positions...and intentionally so.

Thanks to Republican Senators Lindsay Graham, Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan and Susan Collins. Without them, Haaland would not have been confirmed.

Oh, and Joe Biden is from Pennsylvania, and lives in and represented Delaware in the Congress, the two colonies of which William Penn was the proprietor.
