Somewhere Walt Disney is rolling in his grave. From the iconic Wonderful World of Disney to Disneyland, the temple of family entertainment, creator Walt would be apoplectic over the current corporate suits publicly denouncing FL’s Parental Rights legislation.

Note that Disney’s argument is against a bill that doesn’t exist. The Don’t say Gay phrase is a Leftwing invention and has no resemblance to the actual legislation.
The Parental Rights in Education bill, which passed the Republican-controlled state legislature this month, has been dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by Democrats who misleadingly claim it bans any discussion pertaining to being gay in Florida schools.
The bill was mocked at the Oscars Sunday night, with co-hosts Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall repeating the word “gay” as the crowd applauded.
Gov. DeSantis has been a steadfast defender of basic American principles and values. And he doesn’t suffer foolishness well.
DeSantis hit back at his critics in Hollywood, saying, “If the people who held up degenerates like Harvey Weinstein as exemplars and as heroes and as all that, if those are the types of people that are opposing us on parents’ rights, I wear that like a badge of honor.”
“They don’t want to admit that they support a lot of the things that we’re providing protections against,” he said.
“For example, they support sexualizing kids in kindergarten. They support injecting woke gender ideology into second grade classrooms. … And so what they’re doing with these slogans and these narratives is they are trying to camouflage their true intentions.”
DeSantis’ unapologetic Truth-to-Power scares the crap out of the Leftcult. How dare he champion citizens and the Constitution?
And that’s the rub now, right? Disney could have, at least, stayed neutral about legislation that would have had – contrary to corporate’s lying statement – no affect on their company, or the families and guests that float a mortgage loan to go to their parks.
But within Disney itself, they are looking to purge all non-Left WrongThink. While Woke, pro-grooming employees throw public tantrums, non-woke employees are fearful of the Mouse’s Stasi Troops.
the authors reveal that they do not feel safe in their jobs and say that Disney has “come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive.” The staffers say they’ve watched silently as Disney villainizes and condemns political leaders who share their opinions.
Disney has no problem doing the bidding of China’s ruling Communist Party but won’t stand up to the Woke bullies in it’s midst?
Maybe because they have become the Woke bully. How else to explain that when Florida’s anti-grooming bill was in the news, some Disney poltroon decided to re-insert a gay kiss back into the not-yet-released movie, Lightyear in order to pwn those evil parents who think they have any rights over the raising of their own children.
Looks like the Mouse wants your kids … and not just for another ride through It’s a Small World.
Plan accordingly.

John in Indy says: No one should trust the Mouse. They are evil incarnate, particularly in what they have bought from “our” politicians in subverting
copyright and trademark laws for their benefit, and to the detriment of American readers and creators. The Mouse bought the extension of copyright protection from Life of the creator plus twenty years to Life of the creator plus now, seventy years, just to prevent the early Mickeys from becoming public domain.
There are many books which are in limbo now because the heirs of the creators lost the copyright at life plus twenty, but the Mouse, having added fifty years to that, did not allow for revival of the expired rights of others, so such works are non-publishable.
The Mouse enforces what they deem to be their rights by demands and litigation where the process is the punishment.

GWB says: You forgot that corporate copyright basically lasts for the life of the corporation now.
Anyone else remember the South Park episodes where the Mouse, Disney CEO comes out as evil? He even showed up in his pandemic special. Interesting how they were at least a decade ahead of their time. Cheers –

D_C says: That’s a very effective illustration! Good job.
It gave me the creeps looking at it.
CatoRenasci says: The only solution is to eschew all Disney content developed since (at the latest) the turn of the 21st century. That’s without even looking carefully at it for wokeness, but it’s a start. Perhaps, it would be safest to go back as far as when the last family members left the business. Never much liked Roy Disney, but he was a better steward of Walt’s legacy than Eisner and his epigoni….
A pity everything done before Walt’s death can’t be moved off into a separate legacy company…. I’d bet you’d see that offspring continue to prosper while the woke new company would fail… who would take their kids to Disneyworld/Disneyland if Mickey and Donald, Minnie and Daisy, etc. are going to be acting more like NAMBLA members than children’s entertainment…just think about what they’d do with Donald exploiting his three nephews…
GWB says: Everything done before Walt’s death should be in public domain by now. But the Disneys were part of a nice little lobbying group with money to throw around.
Howard D. Greene says: A few decades back Public Employee Pension funds were divesting from Apartied South Africa. Of this they were proud and so we heard all about it. Also, the pensions in question are guaranteed by the taxpayer so the pressure to produce good returns is less. Using the funds financial power in the cause of left-wing political activism is likely Standard Procedure by now. I wonder: Could Disney’s about turn on getting involved in Politics have anything to do with a message they got from CalPERS? Throw in Steve Jobs’ widow and a couple other tech billionaires and you’d have a lobby that outweighs a few dozen trans activists with signs on one side — and the parents of America on the other.

GWB says: repeating the word “gay” as the crowd applauded
This is really the crux. This is like a child being told that a certain word should not exit their mouth, who promptly defies the authority by chanting the word incessantly. (In a proper house it got their mouths washed out with soap; in broader society we no longer have that option.)
These people are hedonistic deviants, worshipping their sexual parts and wanting to recruit children into the same. They want to strip children away from their parents because they still see “parents” as the overseers of morality – which they desire above all else to see broken and powerless (at least where it tells them what they must not do). So they chant like the immature children they are, wanting nothing so much as to do whatever they want with no consequences – reality- or society-imposed.
To answer the question in the headline? NO. And you should snatch your children from their grasp.
