Could one rightly conclude that Disney
is guilty of an economic and moral failure for taking on DeSantis's Parental
Rights in Education Bill? The so called “Don’t Say Gay law” prohibits public
school instruction on gender and sexuality between K and 3rd grade.
Will Florida take on a one billion dollar hit? Possibly. Will Disney take a
bigger economic hit in the long run? More than likely. Their shares have
already dropped by a third since Bill 1557 was introduced. I personally support
any Bill that includes a requirement that schools must notify parents of
changes to a student’s health or well-being and prohibits schools from
encouraging students to withhold info from parents. I also favor the measure
that allows parents to access their progenies education and health records used
by the school district, allows parents to decline school healthcare services
offered by the school, and requires permission from parents before
administrating a health screening form/well-being questionnaire. Furthermore,
“classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual
orientation or gender identification should not occur in grades K-3, or in any
manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students”
IAW state standards. What
is wrong with a Governor that gives every parent the ability to have a
politician build a bridge between the parent and the school district? Finally,
we have a law that affirms what parents already knew: their parental rights are fundamental.
Back
to the issue of the Magic Kingdom versus Florida’s Governor, Ron DeSantis. Like
many conservatives and Independents, both in and out of Florida, have been
presenting a different alternative to America and thus her citizens to include parents.
This alternative namely involves lower fuel costs, a southern border that’s strictly
enforced, lower consumer prices, parental rights as it pertains to public education
curriculum, i.e., CRT, social emotional learning, leftist revisionism and the
1619 project and.... As
for Disney’s CEO and shareholders, I would suggest they get back to family
entertainment and distance themselves from Woke politics. I believe that is
what Walt would say. What say you?
