Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday criticized Disney for CEO Bob Chapek\u2019s support of transgender instruction for children from kindergarten through third grade after the Florida legislature passed the\u00a0Parental Rights in Education bill.<\/p>\n<p>Disney CEO Bob Chapek spoke out against the bill this week and pledged to donate $5 million to LGBTQ groups.<\/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>DeSantis lamented Disney\u2019s \u201cwokeness\u201d and argued it would \u201cdestroy this country if we let it run unabated.\u201d He advised the Florida Legislature would reevaluate Disney\u2019s \u201cspecial privileges.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201c[O]ver many, many decades, Brian, [Disney has]gotten incredible treatment from the Florida Legislature, and they are treated on a pedestal,\u201d DeSantis said on FNC\u2019s \u201cFox &#038; Friends.\u201d \u201cThis one corporation is treated differently than everybody else. And so, that\u2019s not something I\u2019ve ever supported, but now in the legislature, you see a movement to reevaluate those special privileges. And so, at the end of the day, I think Disney has gotten over its skis on this. And look, there are policy disputes, and that\u2019s fine, but when you\u2019re trying to impose a woke ideology on our state, you know, we view that as a significant threat. This wokeness will destroy this country if we let it run unabated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, in Florida, we take a very big stand against that, and I think the legislature is going to look at that,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd six months ago, it would have been unthinkable that they would be willing to reevaluate those special privileges. I think they are going to do that now, and that\u2019s going to represent a major shift for our state, but at the end of the day, you know, I don\u2019t\u2026 believe in special treatment for any corporation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker\u00a0on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
