From my perspective as a candidate running for Congress, I have tons of people working for the Walt Disney Company that reach out to me daily on social media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m glad you\u2019re happy at Disney, but I can tell you what: after people saw what they saw in those videos, they\u2019re not happy at all,\u201d Ingraham pointed out. \u201cSomeone who is a traditional conservative, social conservative, a serious Christian or frankly, any other faith, is now being told that Disney\u2019s purpose, political purpose, is to ensure that kindergartners to third grade are taught about sexual orientation. That is the hill that Disney wants to die on after making billions off of families who are traditionalists. That\u2019s the problem here. That\u2019s the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019re making a terrible miscalculation that ultimately will be bad for business,\u201d Castillo declared. \u201cTheir statement says this about the bill that Ron DeSantis passed; they said, \u2018Our goal as a company is for the law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down by the courts.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the Left, they talk about democracy after this election, so what about our democracy right now?\u201d he continued. \u201cThe people of Florida, a lot of Disney cast members, voted for our state legislature. These are duly elected members of the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate who passed this bill, sent it to the governor, and thank God our governor has the backbone to stand up to companies like mine, Disney to stand with the people of Florida, stand with the parents to protect our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingraham pointed out that a new poll showed a majority of Democrats disapproved of kindergartners through third-graders being taught about sexual orientation in class. She commented, \u201cThe numbers are huge; again, Disney going with the far-left extremists, which, I can\u2019t imagine what Walt Disney would think today.<\/p>\n<p>Castillo asserted, \u201cThe reason that\u2019s happening is because, there\u2019s this saying, squeaky wheel gets the grease. And a small minority within the Walt Disney Company that\u2019s part of the LGBT community are screaming the loudest.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Another alleged Disney employee, using the\u00a0pseudonym Ethan L. Clay, wrote a lengthy, powerful essay on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/quillette.com\/2022\/03\/29\/disneys-institutional-capture\/\">Quillette.com<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday in which it stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>It\u2019s incredible that a company\u2014particularly a company whose brand is family-friendly content\u2014would oppose the perfectly reasonable view that sexual topics are not appropriate for six-year-olds in a public school setting. The bill puts the onus back on parents, rather than public schools, to decide how and if these conversations happen. That perspective can be debated, but it is not wrong\u00a0a priori, and a very large number of Florida voters agree with it. But Disney isn\u2019t interested in allowing a genuine debate or conversation to occur, it simply wants to satisfy the DEI activists so they stop making trouble and bad headlines for the company. The result is that they parrot the party line, offer craven apologies, and ignore and silence opposition.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\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.
