Corporate sponsors for the museum include Boeing and Perkins Coie, the same law firm that facilitated the Russia hoax with its financing of the debunked Steele Dossier. Perkins Coie did not respond to The Federalist\u2019s request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoeing has a long history of supporting STEM programs globally and on that basis, awarded a grant to the Museum of Pop Culture in 2021 to support its integrated STEM-Arts community programming, focused on the science of sound, world-building, climate change and architecture,\u201d a Boeing spokesman said in response to a Federalist inquiry. \u201cWhile we haven\u2019t evaluated other arts programming beyond that STEM activity, we are proud to be among the dozens of corporate partners who support the museum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/29\/abc-news-doesnt-want-you-to-know-that-the-students-desantis-is-protecting-from-sex-propaganda-are-5-year-olds\/\">signed<\/a> a law barring teacher discussion of sexual orientation and gender in classrooms from kindergarten through the third grade. Left-wing ideologues and their allies in a complicit media branded the legislation to protect children as the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/31\/dont-let-gay-chasten-buttigieg-near-your-children-says-nonexistent-desantis-law\/\">despite the law saying no such thing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Walt Disney Company, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/disney-florida-bill-banning-sexuality-gender-discussions-for-little-kids-should-never-have-passed\">condemned<\/a> the law as its theme parks, including in Orlando\u2019s Magic Kingdom, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/disney-remove-all-mentions-gender-roles-theme-parks-1693158\">erase gender<\/a> distinctions. As Disney\u2019s corporate executives rail against Florida Republicans, the company has simultaneously <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/01\/disney-expands-operations-openly-anti-gay-countries-shuns-florida-parental-rights-bill\/\">expanded operations <\/a>in openly homophobic countries where being gay is punishable by death. <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis has responded to the criticism with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/business\/story\/2022-04-01\/florida-governor-desantis-adds-weight-to-republican-push-to-remove-disney-legal-privileges\">threats<\/a> to terminate Disney\u2019s legal privileges.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
