(Disclosure: The Daily Wire has announced plans for kids entertainment content.)<\/p>\n<p>The law in question makes it illegal for public schools to instruct on gender identity or sexuality with young children in kindergarten through third grade. After it passed, Disney promised to work to repeal it and held an in-house townhall in which an executive producer admitted to having a \u201cno-so-secret gay agenda\u201d and boasted about adding \u201cqueer\u201d content to children\u2019s entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Those actions are sparking angry calls from outraged parents, claims Bongino. \u201c[The insider] is telling me Disney is tracking all of the calls complaining about their support for sexualizing kids in kindergarten,\u201d he said on his <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/v10vyv3-dan-bongino-got-a-message-from-someone-who-works-at-disney-what-she-told-hi.html\">podcast<\/a> Thursday. \u201cThe woman told me that the calls are overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/news\/nat-issues-disney-business-0410\/\">survey<\/a> from the Trafalgar group supports the claims of Bongino\u2019s source.<\/p>\n<p>The conservative nonprofit Convention for State\u2019s Action commissioned poll of likely voters to find out about their feelings on Disney since leaked videos showed an executive producer mentioning a \u201cnot-so-secret gay agenda\u201d and boasted about adding \u201cqueer\u201d content to children\u2019s entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>The poll asked likely voters if \u201cnews reports [that] reveal Disney is focusing on creating content to expose young children to sexual ideas\u201d made them more or less likely to do business with Disney. Nearly 70 percent of respondents, including about half of Democrats and 73 percent of independents, said they were \u201cless likely.\u201d Only nine percent said it made them more likely to support the company.<\/p>\n<p>A majority of every group (78% of Republicans, 72% of independents, and 59% of Democrats) said that the comments Disney staffers made in the leaked videos make them more likely to look for alternative sources of family-friendly entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Mouse House heirs aren\u2019t doing much to restore the company\u2019s public image in the eyes of parents wary of the company\u2019s stance on LGBT content in children\u2019s entertainment. This week, Disney heir Charlee Corra, whose stepfather was the grandson of company co-founder Roy O. Disney, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/nbc-out\/out-news\/disney-heir-comes-publicly-transgender-condemns-anti-lgbtq-bills-rcna23888\">came out<\/a> as transgender and expressed regret for not doing more to fight Florida\u2019s bill before it passed. Meanwhile, Walt Disney\u2019s granddaughter, Abigail, penned an op-ed for <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/pDII0\">The Washington Post<\/a> calling on the company to become more political.<\/p>\n<p>The public backlash appears to be having a negative impact on the company\u2019s stock price as well. Shares are down about 26 percent in the last year. That has some shareholder\u2019s questioning whether it\u2019s Disney\u2019s business to get involved in politics.<\/p>\n<p>Economist and Disney shareholder Ray Keating told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/disney-shareholder-ceo-chapek-political-crusades\">Fox News<\/a> on April 2 that Disney CEO Bob Chapek needs to \u201cget back to business\u201d and \u201cstop wasting shareholders\u2019 money on political crusades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keating later added, \u201cWe all have the right to have our voices heard on issues, but not on the shareholders\u2019 dime.\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.
