Disney’s corporate leaders are out of step with the values that mean the most to their customers — the very same values that made the media giant the leader in “wholesome family entertainment that all Americans felt comfortable sharing with their children.”
Last week, the company protested Florida’s recent legislation, H.B. 1557, by announcing its intent to produce more LGBTQ content for children, revealing just how poorly it understands the law in question or the interests of its own market. Opponents have mischaracterized H.B. 1557 as a “Don’t Say Gay” bill (and now law), although the legislation does no such thing. Instead, the law protects parental rights in early education by ensuring that students in kindergarten through grade 3 are not exposed to sexually charged material, that parents are informed regarding their children’s health and well-being, and that parents are the ones “to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their children.”
The Coalition for Jewish Values responded with a press release that clarified the law’s actual content and condemned Disney’s reaction as a misinformed capitulation to the woke mob.
