It’s not a far-fetched conspiracy theory to say that well-placed gender ideologues want to catechize and recruit your children. Disney has employees dedicated to the cause who, when they think no one is watching, will explain that they’re working to package gender ideology for their young audiences. We’re rightly more disturbed by this with Disney, because children and their parents are Disney’s key customers.Īnd it’s not being done grudgingly. Disney, like other major corporations, are bending over backward to satisfy the demands of radical gender activists. These leaked videos reveal starkly what many of us have long suspected. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.) Jay Richards, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation’s DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, expressed concern over Disney’s corporate agenda. “It’s just an odd manifestation of their corporate values that they actually do Disney cruises … to the nation of Dominica, which criminalizes homosexuality. “You’ve got to wonder, why is the hill to die on to have transgenderism injected into kindergarten classrooms or woke gender ideology injected into second-grade classrooms,” DeSantis said. Other employees released a letter arguing Disney created an “environment of fear” for conservative employees who worry they’ll be fired for not going along with the “progressive orthodoxy” that runs rampant in the company.ĭeSantis responded to the leaked videos on Fox News. Last week, some Disney employees staged a walkout protest, alleging the company had not done enough to support LGBT causes. SCOOP: Disney diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware says the company has eliminated all mentions of "ladies," "gentlemen," "boys," and "girls" in its theme parks in order to create "that magical moment" for children who do not identify with traditional gender roles. “We have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories, and yet, we don’t have enough leads and narrative in which gay characters just get to be characters and not have to be about gay stories,” Burke said. In one video, Karey Burke, president of Disney General Entertainment, said she aims to have at least half of the characters in upcoming stories identify as LGBT or racial minorities. “Executives have empowered activists within the company and now seem unable to resist their demands,” Rufo wrote. Rufo, who previously reported on the embrace of critical race theory within Disney, said the entertainment giant has fallen prey to identity politics. The law, which prohibits schools from instructing young children in kindergarten through third grade on sexual orientation and gender identity, was dubbed by opponents as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, although the legislation never used the word “gay.”
The videos-obtained by investigative journalist Christopher Rufo and posted Tuesday on Twitter-expose Disney executives inside an all-hands meeting in response to Florida’s HB 1557, the Parental Rights in Education bill, which was recently signed into law by Gov.
