Ron DeSantis had signed a bill banning sexual orientation or gender identity discussions for young kids, saying the bill should \u201cnever have passed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlorida\u2019s HB 1557, also known as the \u2018Don\u2019t Say Gay\u2019 bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law.\u00a0Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that,\u201d a Disney spokesman told The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Disney did not immediately respond to further requests from The Daily Wire regarding a letter from Disney employees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/they-call-their-fellow-employees-bigots-conservatives-at-disney-issue-open-statement-detailing-hostile-work-environment\">detailing<\/a> a hostile work environment for conservatives.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cThe company\u2019s evolving response to the so-called \u2018Don\u2019t Say Gay\u2019 legislation in Florida has left many of us wondering what place we have in a company actively promoting a political agenda so far removed from our own,\u201d the letter said. \u201cTWDC leadership frequently communicates its commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where cast members feel comfortable sharing their perspectives and being their authentic selves at work. That is not our workplace experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Florida\u2019s HB 1447\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/floridas-lgbtq-bill-is-being-wildly-misrepresented-here-are-the-facts\">states<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0\u201cclassroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students in kindergarten are typically five years old, while third graders generally are eight or nine years old.<\/p>\n<p>The bill has been wildly misrepresented as \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d legislation, though nowhere in the legislation is the word \u201cgay\u201d mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cparent\u201d is mentioned 32 times and the word \u201cparental\u201d is mentioned eight times, and the legislation heavily focuses on parental notification and parental awareness of what children are being taught or exposed to in school.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-signs-parental-notification-bill-shrugs-off-dont-say-gay-uproar\">said Monday<\/a> that parents have a \u201cfundamental\u201d role in the education, upbringing, and healthcare of their children, insisting that he will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-undeterred-by-disney-criticism-of-florida-parental-rights-bill\">never cave to pressure<\/a> from outside groups like Disney.<\/p>\n<p>While some critics of the Parents Rights in Education bill have not read the legislation, DeSantis said, \u201cleftist politicians, corporate media outlets, some of these activist groups, they actually have read the bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd they are sloganeering because they don\u2019t want to admit that they support a lot of the things we are providing protections against,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>For example, they support sexualizing kids in kindergarten. They support injecting woke gender ideology into second grade classrooms. They support enabling schools to \u201ctransition students\u201d to a \u201cdifferent gender\u201d without the knowledge of the parent much less without the parents consent. What they are doing with these slogans and these narratives, they are trying to camoflauge their true intentions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Leftist activists know that Americans overwhelmingly oppose indoctrinating children with sexual or gender ideology, DeSantis said, pointing to polling, like that done by outlets like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-poll-over-60-of-americans-back-floridas-limits-on-k-3-lessons-on-sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity\">The Daily Wire<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/another-poll-finds-americans-dont-want-sexual-orientation-gender-identity-in-the-classroom-for-k-3-graders\">Politico<\/a>, that showed most Americans don\u2019t want gender identity being taught in schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeone told me that there\u2019s even people in Hollywood that are opposed to providing protections for parents and enforcing parents rights,\u201d he added. \u201cThe one thing I\u2019ll say about that: the people who held up degenerates like Harvey Weinstein as exemplars, if those are the types of people opposing us on parents rights, I wear that like a badge of honor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
