Yet the conglomerate often manages to stifle and ostracize its own employees in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremiah Daws started working for Disney in 2015 and was, until last year, a content producer. He had spent years in Hollywood staying quiet about his views as a pro-life, conservative Christian. But as American culture was upended by COVID and a resurgence of social justice activism, Daws finally decided to \u201clive not by lies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with The Daily Wire, Daws recounts how he left Disney \u2014 and reveals whether he thinks there remains any hope for the iconic company.<\/p>\n<p>Disney did not respond to The Daily Wire\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Last Straw\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Daws began his time at Disney as a video editor and producer for the company\u2019s social media teams. He eventually landed a position with Yellow Shoes \u2014 an internal marketing group that promotes Disney\u2019s parks and resorts.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in his career, Daws was warned to keep his viewpoints under wraps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first arrived in Los Angeles in the late 2000s, I was still vocal about my conservative beliefs. My brother and I were attending a screenwriting workshop that met weekly,\u201d he recounted. \u201cThe man who ran the workshop noticed some conservative posts on my social media and invited us to breakfast to let us know we would be blacklisted in Hollywood if people knew we held those beliefs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Daws initially \u201cbalked\u201d at the idea, he agreed to \u201cgo underground\u201d with the intention of gaining influence in the industry. \u201cEventually I would be so successful that when I did share my true Christian and conservative beliefs, Hollywood wouldn\u2019t be able to stop me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His intentions changed when COVID lockdowns and the 2020 riots gripped the United States. Disney <a href=\"https:\/\/christopherrufo.com\/the-wokest-place-on-earth\/\">reportedly compelled<\/a> its employees to attend various training sessions, where Daws recounts that he was told, \u201cas a white, straight, male, I should be quiet and listen.\u201d Even more so, he says he was told that \u201cpromotions would be on hold for the white men on the team\u201d and to \u201cstart casting non-binary children for our photo and video shoots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the last straw,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Daws had been reading the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Live-Not-Lies-Christian-Dissidents\/dp\/0593087399\">Live Not By Lies<\/a>, in which author Rod Dreher highlights the stories of Christians who resisted totalitarianism in the Soviet Union. Daws felt like he was \u201cliving every day promoting a company, a belief system, and even COVID hysteria, that I didn\u2019t agree with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was living by lies, putting on this false exterior,\u201d Daws said. Particularly convicted by a quote from Russian author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn \u2014 \u201clet the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.\u201d Daws left Disney in early 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just couldn\u2019t lie anymore,\u201d he said. \u201cI would remove myself from the equation. Living in that kind of environment is soul-crushing. I wanted to be free to express myself without fear of losing my job. I wanted to be in an environment where I could make friends who would accept me as I am, not as they demand me to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daws spent the past year and a half attending trade school and preparing to open his own machine shop. Yet he still had not announced his true reason for leaving Disney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had hope in the back of my mind that if Disney ever got back to just making magic, maybe I could go back,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the lie was still out there. There were 10 years worth of friends and coworkers that still believed I was one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As he listened to an episode of his brother\u2019s podcast, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6OCi3kXhr3hRK9LI9YGOGS\">The Great Awokening<\/a> with Josh Daws, he heard the concept of redefining the month of June as \u201cComing out Conservative\u201d month. \u201cIt was time to end the lies once and for all. I wanted my next phase of life to be open and truthful. Wherever I worked next, everything would be out on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daws\u2019 sentiment was compounded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/united-states-supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-leaves-abortion-restrictions-to-states\">Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade<\/a>. Disney was among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/here-are-the-woke-businesses-vowing-to-cover-travel-costs-for-employees-abortion-tourism\">several leading companies<\/a> that vowed to pay for employees\u2019 interstate travel to obtain abortions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople have prayed for this day for 50 years,\u201d Daws said of the Court\u2019s decision. \u201cWe are now on the path to righting this horrible wrong. This was a day to celebrate. I had a small platform among my liberal friends to be a different voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A Lot Of Negativity\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Daws revealed his true beliefs on June 24 \u2014 the day that the Supreme Court released its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization and officially overturned Roe \u2014 through a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeremiahDaws\/status\/1540400080292806657\">Twitter thread<\/a> that gained a small degree of virality. In response, he says, he received \u201ca lot of negativity\u201d from his progressive friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was celebrating and basically owning up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney has a reputation for pushing woke ideology on American families through its iron grip on the entertainment industry.
