tion, not education. And it is never too young to be indoctrinated.

Disney, which operates Disney World in Orlando, opposes the Parental Rights in Education law.

The governor, in return, has removed the special tax and regulatory treatment that Disney enjoys in Florida, and now Disney has sued.

Disney then-CEO Bob Chapek wrote to Disney employees pledging opposition to the law, saying, “It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights.”

It is a “basic human right” to indoctrinate 6-year-olds in public school about sexual orientation and gender, even if their parents oppose such instruction?

The Disney company was built on entertainment for children.

The panorama of the firm’s history appears on its website. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Pinocchio, “Fantasia,” etc., and Disney’s entry into television in 1954 with the Disneyland series and in 1955 with “The Mickey Mouse Club,” which, according to the history, was “one of television’s most popular children’s series.”

It was an America, then, where more than two-thirds of American adults were married, compared to less the half today.

And it was an America where the Bible was read aloud in public schools. It was not until 1963 that the Supreme Court ruled this unconstitutional.

Does Disney’s current CEO see banning the Bible, and Christian values in general, from our public schools as a “challenge to basic human rights”?

The concept of the Disney theme parks — first Disneyland in California and then Disney World in Florida — emerged from Walt Disney’s inspiration that “there should be a park where parents and children could go and have a good time together.”

Disney brings in some $4 billion income annually for their stockholders but now is on a campaign, which unfortunately mirrors much of what is happening in general in the country, to destroy the truths and traditional family values that built the wealth it now enjoys.

It also must be noted that no state in the USA enjoys more education freedom than Florida. As result of legislation signed into law by DeSantis, every family can apply for a voucher, estimated to be worth $8,700, to send their child to any private school they want.

So those who want to indoctrinate little children with sexual indulgences they see as truth are free to do so.

But, as noted at the outset, the priority of those who call Ron DeSantis fascist is not seeking freedom, but indoctrination of their agenda.
