The Disney Corporation is reinforcing its woke credentials by publicly challenging Florida's proposed new law that would prohibit teachers from discussing "gender issues" in front of students; kindergarten to third grade.
The law seems to have some logic behind it because children ages 5 to 9 cannot process fluidity and alternative lifestyles. Kids that age have trouble processing spaghetti.
Nevertheless, Disney CEO Bob Chapek is concerned the so-called "don't say gay" legislation will quote "unfairly target LGBTQ kids and families."
So, Chapek wants to meet with Governor DeSantis. The mogul also says Disney will donate $5 million to protect gay rights.
Of course, Disney can well afford the charity because it charges so much money to go to its parks - that neither gay nor straight working families can visit.
But there is no charge for virtue signaling.
Sorry if that seems unfair, but the Disney Company and Mr. Chapek, in my opinion, could not care less about kids and their families. Many parents, perhaps most, do not want woke progressive teachers indoctrinating their children just as they wouldn't want overly religious teachers forcing a theology on the kids.
The Florida law, however, needs companion legislation. Every school in this country should be required to hold anti-bullying classes. In this cyber age, we simply cannot allow any child to be bullied; that is a dreadful problem, as every good person knows.
So please get behind an anti-bullying campaign, Disney. Do it for the kids.
And lower your prices for them as well.
