Florida Lawmakers Pass Bill To Revoke Disney’s Special Governing Status

Florida Gov. Since the signing of the “Parental rights in education bill” by Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis has been fighting a long-running battle with Disney. This law prohibits K-3 students from being taught sexual material.

DeSantis was smart to do this, as teachers were using it as an opportunity for children to be indoctrinated with the LGTBQIA+ ideologies. Disney, which had not opposed the bill in the first place, was subject to pressure by LGBT activists within its workforce. It belatedly lobbied against the legislation and launched a craven effort to appease the gay community, even going so far as promising to donate roughly $5 million to organizations that fight to support LGTBQ+ rights and removing all gendered language in their theme parks.

Thanks to Thursday’s Florida legislative passage, DeSantis has the opportunity to change Disney forever.

The House of Representatives approved a bill that the state Senate passed on Wednesday that will dissolve Disney’s ability to be a self-governing entity. The entertainment giant has its own special district that was founded in 1967, is 25,000 acres, and allows Disney to collect taxes and provide emergency services to the surrounding counties.

DeSantis has to approve it before the bill can become law.

“Look, there’s policy disputes, and that’s fine,” DeSantis said last month when Disney started opposing his anti-grooming bill, “but when you’re trying to impose a woke ideology on our state, we view that as a significant threat. If we allow this wokeness to continue, it will endanger the country. We in Florida take a strong stand against this.
