Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s position on LGBT education bill “has not changed” despite a concerned call from Disney CEO Bob Chapek and company executives. They reportedly plan to meet with DeSantis to air their concerns about Florida’s recently passed Parental Rights in Education bill, which prohibits gender ideology and sexual orientation curriculum for kindergartners through third graders in the state.
DeSantis is expected to sign the bill into law in the coming days after it passed the state legislature on Tuesday. Chapek told The Hollywood Reporter that he voiced his and his colleagues’ concerns to DeSantis Wednesday morning over the phone, and said that the governor agreed to a follow-up conversation.

What else do you expect from the head of an organization that sponsors "Gay Days" at its theme parks? A former coworker's family's visit to Disney World coincided with "Gay Days." She was outraged at what her children were exposed to during their visit.

If the bill specifically addresses K-3, what earthly concerns/objections could he and his executives have? I would really like to know.

Wouldn’t you love to be there when they meet? My guess is that the Disney flunkies can air their concerns til hell freezes over and DeSantis will stand pat.

Of course he will. Disney is heavily invested in the whole LGBTwhatever agenda.
I’ve never been to either Disney World or Disney Land and you can bet that I will depart this earth having never gone. Anyone with an iota of morality should be boycotting the place.

Actually, I hope that DeSantis accepts. Hold the discussion live with cameras rolling so Bob Chapek and his woke flunkies can make woke jackasses of themselves for the world (and Disney stockholders) to see.

Disney is one of the world's most evil corporations. For nearly 100 years Disney has exploited the sexuality of young girls for profit.
Boycott Disney.

I suggest Chapek shut down Disney World in protest. Then try to explain that to his shareholders when the lawsuits follow.

Since Chapek is used to having cameras around, I suggest he do a live-feed of the meeting for all to see. Would be most enlightening to hear their objections as to way 5-8 years olds should be shielded from sexually inappropriate and explicit content. Would also be fun to watch DeSantis school them.

Only a pedophile would object to this bill. Maybe we need to know more about this Disney employee.

People are getting a little fed of with all of this LGBT bullsh**. I don't care what a person does with their life or what their lifestyle is, but leave the kids alone. When they start indoctrinating very young children in they gay agenda they have crossed the line. Teach them reading, writing and arithmetic. Morals, values and respect are taught at home not in the classroom. Got it.

Let them shut down Disney World and move it to Bejing. After all, that's where the money is, right?

Maybe Chapek thinks that if he sings DeSantis a chorus or 2 of,
"🎵 It's a gay world after all,
It's a gay world after all,
It's a gay world after all,
It's a gay, gay world 🎶"
he'll change his stance.

I love it when people make things obvious, for even those who would argue with a sign post to take the wrong way home.
Like the list of those politicians who have attended the 5 year indoctrination in globalism by Klaus Schwab.
Like Soros encouraging the US to get involved in Ukraine.
Like Disney showing where their loyalty lies. (NOT to family friendly entertainment for sure)

Disney has been going non-hetro. since the mid 70's. Everyone in Fl knew that
to get a mid management career you had to lean a certain way.
Management unofficially supported the idea of Gay Days at Disney. Maybe by
now its official support.

The lgbtq crowd is tired of waiting for the damaged adults to fill their ranks. Suicide rates are too high. So they figure they can catch their new recruits really early while their sexuality is just developing and they themselves can "softly" abuse these children into joining their lifestyle. Monsters.

Governor DeSantis has already verbally knocked out a bunch of fake news "reporters" over this issue. I would love to see him do the same to the woke numbskull running Disney. When I was stationed in the Bay Area in the early 90's I had won two tickets to Disneyland but couldn't go due to having to fly out to WV for a family emergency. So I sold them to a buddy of mine and he had a good time. Complete with Polaroid pictures. Remember those big instant cameras. Now you couldn't pay me to go to Disney World as all things associated with that company have gone over the woke cliff. Including Marvel, Star Wars, ABC and ESPN.

Before speaking to anyone in person or on the telephone about the bill, DeSantis needs to first ask the: Have you actually looked at or read the bill yourself? If the answer is no then the conversation needs to either end until they read it, or DeSantis can educate them himself what the bill really says and is about. Don't let people blindly buy into the lies and propaganda that is being spread by the LGBTQ allied media and their woke friends. They are blind to and incapable of deciphering the truth of what is really in the law as it goes against their preferred persecution type narrative.
