There is this thing that exists called a museum. Some shit belongs in a museum, some doesn't, and some doesn't belong in the public sphere.
I personally haven't yet heard the argument against Penn, but by and large the whole scare over destroying history by removing things like nazi/confederate statues is overblown at best, and racist at worst.
Reading the article, it appears to be one of those "Aha! Gotcha!" cries in an attempt to equate the proposed removal of the Penn statue to the removal of the Confederate statues.
Not the case. NPS wants to rehabilitate the park to pay homage to the purpose of the land as provisioned by Penn's grandson - for native Americans to sign treaties.
The only real issue is that NPS proposed to remove the statue and nearby building without reconstructing it. And it's a proposal...proposals can change.
