    Officiating the lawAs passing on March 28th, DeSantis explained that the Parental Rights in Education Act oensures parents can send their kids to kindergarten without gender ideology being injected into instruction and
    they will be notified and have the right to decline healthcare services offered at schools.o


    oThe bill takes three main steps,o he elaborated. oFirst, the bill
    prohibits classroom instruction about sexuality or things like transgender
    in K-3 classrooms. And after third grade those curriculums need to be age appropriate.o

    oSecond, the bill ensures that at the beginning of every school year
    parents will be notified about healthcare services offered at the school
    with the right to decline any service offered,o he continued. oAnd
    finally, this bill ensures that whenever a questionnaire or health
    screening is given to our young students, parents receive it first and
    give permission for the school to give it to their child.o

    Pointing to independent journalist Chris RufoAs recent campaign to bring DisneyAs critical race and social justice theory-based leanings to light, Disney took to Twitter on April 1st to opine, oLike all radical
    ideologues, the right wing has finally run amok and is coming to devour
    the hand that feeds it. Business.o

    oFor my part I am delighted,o she added. oIt is the business world that
    has been, either by act or omission, feeding the opportunist right wing to distract us with culture war nonsense while they rifle through the till
    and empty everyoneAs pockets.o

    Disney then declared, oThis aanti-wokeA right wing nonsense is unsupported
    by a large majority of Americans In fact most Americans are offended by it
    and wish it would just go away.o

    oYou need two things to rule with a minority,o she continued. oFirst, you
    need to be constantly looking for fresh meat to throw to the minions, to
    keep them riled up all the time. That works until the herd thins (remember Scar in Lion King?). So now theyAve come for American Businesses.o

    oIt was really only a matter of time,o she noted. oThe second thing you
    need to rule with a minority is money, lots of it. You need the very deep pockets to fund you, yes, and if they donAt, you need them to sit quietly along the sidelines, out of your way.o

    Expanding on this point, Disney stated, oUntil now, business has been
    content to do just that. Or they compartmentalized like sociopaths when
    they funded folks like Dennis Baxley who wrote the hateful DonAt Say Gay
    bill because as the CEO claimed, he had no way of knowing he might vote
    for legislation like that.o

    oHAH,o she mocked. oOr else they have chosen silence. Their silence
    brought us Donald Trump. Apparently the racism and the xenophobia and the misogyny werenAt deal breakers. Their silence, or at least willingness to compartmentalize when it came to politicians who were willing to fight
    for.o

    Disney next proceeded to posit that oTheir outrageous and multi-decade campaign to stack the deck against the American People brought us this
    whole raft of Trump wanna-beAs now casting about for new and more
    insidious ways to tear the country apart.o

    oSo now that the right wing and the business agenda might actually be
    showing signs of parting ways, perhaps we might see the powerful lobbies
    of the various industries wondering which party was truly interested in supporting their interests,o she said.

    oPerhaps we will see lobbies lose faith in the devilAs partnership they
    until now have relied so heavily upon to look after their subsidies, their
    tax breaks, their flouting of law and regulation,o speculated Disney.
    oPerhaps the right wing has finally bitten the hand that has been feeding
    it superfoods these last few decades.o

    oThis is a monster of corporate AmericaAs creation,o she further accused. oUntil now theyAve managed to dodge the worst of it by feigning
    aneutralityA ueven when decent human beings were being actively harmed by right wing activism.o

    As such, said Disney, oThe only thing that will work for business now if
    they want to emerge in one piece, is to stand tall for authenticity, generosity, joy and decency.o

    oThese things are cryptonite [sic] for the right wing agenda,o she wrote.
    oSo the cure for this isnAt hard. And it also just so happens to be the
    heart and soul of the Disney brand.o

    Disney next told her followers, oDisney has everything it needs to fight
    this threat, if only it will have the courage to weather the slings and
    arrows and threats and name-calling.o

    oIf only leadership will check in with first principles,o she concluded.
    oIf only they will show us that as a company that trades on [the] American Right now, when it matters most of all, they will stand for those values
    with every fiber of their being.o

    Returning to Rufo, Disney ultimately maintained, oYeah guys like Rufo can
    try, but Disney is so much bigger, means so much more to the American
    people than that little punk can ever hope to mean.o
