Ron DeSantis (R) said on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The governor <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/user123106733\/download\/686854370\/13019f8330\">used<\/a> an opportunity during a stop in Boca Raton to address Disney\u2019s hypocrisy after the company\u2019s CEO Bob Chapek made it clear that Disney leaders are opposed to the Parental Rights in Education Bill, which protects children in kindergarten through third grade from classroom discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity. Critics have falsely labeled the measure the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill. Chapek <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/03\/08\/1085130633\/disney-response-florida-bill-dont-say-gay\">said<\/a>\u00a0Disney\u2019s leaders were opposed to the measure but \u201cchose not to take a public position on it because we thought we could be more effective working behind-the-scenes, engaging directly with lawmakers \u2014 on both sides of the aisle.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Chapek added that he called the governor \u201cto express our disappointment and concern that if the legislation becomes law, it could be used to unfairly target gay, lesbian, non-binary and transgender kids and families\u201d and added that a meeting with the governor is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>But speaking to supporters Thursday, DeSantis made it clear that he will not back down to woke corporations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe chance that I am going to back down from my commitment to students and back down from my commitment to parent rights simply because of fraudulent media narratives or pressure from woke corporations \u2014 the chances of that are zero,\u201d he said to applause before addressing Disney\u2019s blatant hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnd when you have companies that have made a fortune of being family-friendly and catering to families and young kids, you know, they should understand that parents of young kids do not want this injected into their kid\u2019s kindergarten classroom,\u201d he said, explaining that parents do not want their first graders to \u201cgo and be told that they can choose an opposite gender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is not appropriate for those kids. So if you\u2019re family-friendly, understand the parents \u2014 who are actually raising families \u2014 want to have their rights respected,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I also think that you have companies like a Disney that are going to say and criticize parents\u2019 rights \u2014 \u00a0they\u2019re going to criticize the fact that we don\u2019t want transgenderism in kindergarten and first grade classrooms \u2013\u201d he began, before pointing to the key flaws in Disney\u2019s strong sense of indignation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf that\u2019s the hill they\u2019re going to die on, then how do they possibly explain lining their pockets with their relationship with the Communist Party of China?\u201d he asked. \u201cBecause that\u2019s what they do, and they make a fortune, and they don\u2019t say a word about the really brutal practices that you see over there at the hands of the CCP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so in Florida, our policy\u2019s got to be based on the best interest of Florida citizens \u2014 not on the musing of woke corporations,\u201d he said to further applause.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, over the past weeks, and particularly this week following the state Senate\u2019s passage of the legislation, the left has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/08\/democrats-furious-that-florida-legislature-passed-bill-banning-sexual-orientation-discussions-for-5-year-olds\/\">spreading<\/a> false narratives about the measure, which simply prohibits classroom discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity. Nowhere in the legislation does it single out specific words such as \u201cgay,\u201d despite the establishment media\u2019s narrative and false label \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney will push for transgenderism to be taught to five-year-olds in classrooms, and express moral outrage over basic parental rights, but the company is absolutely silent when it comes to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1371666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1371666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1371666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1371666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1371666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1371666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1371666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
