The Right Should Not Protect Woke CapitalWhen Disney lobbyists flood Capitol Hill offices over the next 18 months, I will be eager to hear why they believe conservatives should continue to help protect their bottom line.

For nearly 70 years, families have traveled to Disney for vacation, not indoctrination.
Sadly, America’s preeminent entertainment company has joined a growing list of corporations bent on pushing woke ideologies.
For decades, Congress has unthinkingly supported these companies. Conservatives need to reassess whether Disney’s bottom line is worth protecting.
The Wokeist Place on EarthDisney has thrust itself into the spotlight by adamantly opposing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ new bill to protect K-3 public school students from learning about adult sexual behavior.
Disney’s position is alarming, given the corporation’s enormous influence over American children and given the actual beliefs of most voters. A large majority of Americans, and even most Florida Democrats, believe that K-3rd graders should not be exposed to discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity. As the father of three young girls, I’m disgusted at the thought of them being indoctrinated to accept the Left’s false teachings about “gender identity.”
Yet, this is exactly the kind of radical ideology Disney openly supports. Recently leaked footage from an internal meeting shows Disney executive producer Latoya Raveneau bragging openly about Disney’s “not-at-all-secret gay agenda.” This entails, in her words, “adding queerness” wherever possible. Disney executives have also scrubbed all sex-based references from their parks. The phrase “Hello, boys and girls!” is now verboten.
Of course, Disney applies its wokeness selectively. Disney has never criticized China’s laws, or even its ongoing genocide, and Disney just expanded its business operations in several countries that punish homosexuality with life imprisonment or death. Disney may be a multinational corporation, but it only interferes in American politics. It’s fair to say that Disney’s only consistent value is anti-Americanism.
