Disney producer Latoya Raveneau told an all-hands meeting that her team works to push a \u201cnot-at-all-secret gay agenda\u201d in programming aimed at kids and sought to add \u201cqueerness\u201d to such content. Disney corporate president Karey Burke announced that she was the mother of \u201cone transgender child and one pansexual child\u201d and that she would try to achieve a quota system whereby half of all Disney characters would be LGBTQ or people of color. Disney diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware stated that Disney\u2019s beloved theme parks would be eliminating any mention of \u201cladies and gentlemen\u201d or \u201cboys and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This prompted a well-deserved firestorm for the Mouse House. Disney has long been Left-wing on social issues \u2014 but in the aftermath of ginned-up controversy surrounding Florida\u2019s Parental Rights in Education bill, which protects small children from indoctrination on sexual orientation and gender identity, an angry coterie of employees pushed management to signal fealty even harder. So Disney\u2019s brass did, announcing that they opposed the Florida bill and then turning over the company to its most radical contingent.<\/p>\n<p>And people reacted. #BoycottDisney began to trend on social media. We at the Daily Wire committed to spending $100 million to develop children\u2019s content that would be safe for kids \u2014 content dedicated to traditional values, where parents wouldn\u2019t have to worry about prescreening content for messages about nonbinary 5-year-olds.<\/p>\n<p>The Left, caught with its hand in the kiddie jar, immediately swiveled and accused the Right of initiating this culture war. Michelle Goldberg of The New York Times lamented that she felt terrible for Raveneau, who, after all, was just \u201cstep(ping) up to defend the company\u2019s queer friendliness, only to become a national object of right-wing fury and disgust,\u201d and whose injection of LGBTQ propaganda into children\u2019s content was \u201csweetly anodyne.\u201d CNN hosted Washington Post transgender columnist Charlotte Clymer, adding the chyron \u201cLGBT COMMUNITY LATEST TO BE CAUGHT IN CULTURE WAR.\u201d The takeaway, according to the social Left, is that anyone who defends traditionalism in child-rearing \u2014 or anyone who simply doesn\u2019t want children turned into targets of sexual propagandizing \u2014 is the true cultural aggressor.<\/p>\n<p>This is a transparent lie. And it\u2019s a lie that won\u2019t redound to the benefit of those who seek radical change. If they wish to pose the rubric of gay rights against parental rights, gay rights are likely to suffer. If they wish to suggest that LGBTQ freedom extends to teachers initiating children into sexual conversations without parental permission, parents are unlikely to go along for the ride. For decades, the social Left has made inroads by arguing that they simply want to be left alone. The Right, by contrast, has argued that the Left\u2019s agenda is far broader, that the Left demands cultural celebration of its sexual mores and that it will stop at nothing to remake society in order to achieve its narcissistic goals. Disney\u2019s latest foray into the culture wars proves that the Right was correct, that the Left\u2019s stated agenda was a lie and that its \u201cnot-at-all-secret\u201d agenda targeted the most vulnerable Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Disney shows no signs of backing away from the extremism its all-hands meeting unmasked before the world. And other corporations are following Disney\u2019s lead, pushing wild Left advocacy instead of catering to the broadest possible market. For too long, Americans have planted their heads firmly in the sand, hoping that the forces of the free market would militate against the cultural hijacking of corporate institutions. Instead, corporations built by entrepreneurs have been hijacked by woke employees and a feckless managerial class. The blowback will be real, and it should be real. And if that means parents swearing off Mickey Mouse, increasingly they will.<\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, reporter Christopher Rufo released footage of top Disney employees vowing to inject their radical LGBTQ agenda into children\u2019s programming.
