PA Court Rules Philadelphia Must Uncover Christopher Columbus Statue – By John Rigolizzo (Daily Wire) / Dec 9, 2022
A court in Pennsylvania ruled Friday that the city of Philadelphia must uncover a statue of Christopher Columbus.
The Christopher Columbus statue in Marconi Plaza in South Philadelphia had been enclosed in a plywood box after it was at the center of protests in 2020. But the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled Friday that the box must be taken off, affirming a ruling by the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County. Instead, the court authorized the construction of a clear structure around the statue.
“As a proud Citizen of Philadelphia, I am delighted that both Judge Patrick of the Court of Common Pleas and the Judges of the Commonwealth Court have boldly reaffirmed that the rule of law still matters,” George Bochetto, lawyer for the group Friends of Marconi Plaza, said in a statement Friday, via NBC 10. “That we are not a society ruled by cancel culture mobs. That all ethnic groups can proudly protect and honor their diverse heritages.”
