Another day, another statue toppled by the Biden administration. Once a hallmark of communist revolutions, this erasure of history has become almost banal in modern America. Yet the latest statue to come down is the most absurd one yet — until you realize the true aim of this historical revisionism.
First, they came for the Confederate monuments. Then they came for the Founding Fathers. Now, William Penn joins the long list of American statesmen to have his statue removed from public land. The Biden administration’s National Park Service announced Friday that it would be removing Penn’s statue from Welcome Park in Philadelphia as part of a “rehabilitation” process.
BREAKING: The Biden administration is removing William Penn from his home in Philadelphia and replacing it with Native American history.

William Penn was a 17th-century English aristocrat, prolific writer, and influential Quaker. Most importantly, he founded Pennsylvania in 1681. Today, the park is located on the site Penn once called home, and is named after the ship, the “Welcome,” that carried him to America. Yet the NPS now wants to erase his memory for all the usual reasons: “to provide a more welcoming, accurate, and inclusive experience for visitors.”
Penn’s statute will not be the only piece removed. Additionally, the NPS plans to remove the museum that includes a model of his home and a timeline of his life and the settlement of Pennsylvania. The “reimagined” exhibit will include an “expanded interpretation of the Native American history” developed “in consultation with representatives of the indigenous nations.”
