The cancel culture has become bolder and more asinine since this historically illiterate mob first declared war on the history and founding principles of the United States. This rabble of brainwashed Marxists is operating under the direction of the leadership of the Democratic party.
Statue after statue featuring our founding fathers have been torn down by either mobs of leftists, or progressive politicians, all under the guise of stamping out racism. This supposed racism is only a smoke screen for disguising the true motive behind their reign of terror waged against statues. Like all leftists, the cancel culture mobs here in the United States despise individual liberty.
At first I was perplexed at the latest victim of the cancel culture, William Penn.
The National Park Service proposes to rehabilitate Welcome Park to provide a more welcoming, accurate, and inclusive experience for visitors. Welcome Park was designed by the internationally acclaimed design firm Venturi & Scott Brown Associates. The park is located on the site of William Penn’s home, the Slate Roof House, and is named for the ship, Welcome, which transported Penn to Philadelphia. The design and construction of Welcome Park was funded by the Independence Historical Trust and was completed in 1982.
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 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 site wall to replace the Penn timeline.
It is unconscionable that the National Park Service under Joe Biden was responsible for this outrage. There is some good news though: Biden Admin Retracts ‘Inclusive’ Proposal to Remove Statue from Park After Major Backlash (westernjournal.com)
Independence National Historical Park has withdrawn the review of a draft proposal to rehabilitate Welcome Park and closed the public comment period,” the National Park Service said in a statement.
“The preliminary draft proposal, which was released prematurely and had not been subject to a complete internal agency review, is being retracted,” it said. “No changes to the William Penn statue are planned.
It became abundantly clear why The Statue of William Penn was targeted by the Biden regime when the following quote by William Penn appeared in my Facebook Newsfeed in the form of a meme:
If we will not be governed by God, we must be governed by tyrants.
I was so impressed by this quote that I did a Google search for others. Here is what I found on this website: Quotations from William Penn (ushistory.org)
Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it
A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we do evil, that good may come of it…To do evil that good may come of it is for bunglers in politics as well as morals
It is certain that the most natural and human government is that of consent, for that binds freely, … when men hold their liberty by true obedience to rules of their own making.”
No people can be truly happy, though under the greatest enjoyments of civil liberties, if abridged of the Freedom of their Conscience as to their Religious Profession and Worship.
