The guide says teachers should tell kids they can choose their gender and their pronouns, regardless of their bodies or the clothes their parents give them to wear. It proposes a K-3 lesson plan around the book Julian Is a Mermaid. The bill bans indoctrinating kids ages four to seven on becoming transgender. We should all show respect and support for the small number of children-less than half a percent-who actually have gender dysphoria. Nothing in the Florida bill endangers human rights or permits disparaging anyone. It’s complicated, so why not let Texans’ elected leaders examine the facts? Who elected HRC to anything?ĭisney Chairman Peter Rice says the company’s standing up for “human rights.” Nonsense. Abbott is concerned that youngsters and their parents may be misled into treatments that prove irreversible later. Greg Abbott’s investigation of instances where young children are being treated for transitioning. Something similar is happening in Texas, where 65 corporations-including IBM, Capital One and Apple-signed a letter in the Dallas Morning News written by HRC opposing Gov. Ron DeSantis, disagree.ĭeSantis says he won’t back down on his commitment to “parental rights” under pressure from “woke corporations.”
But Florida voters, who elected the state’s lawmakers and Gov. That’s what Hollywood thinks is good for America. HRC’s interim president, Joni Madison, spelled out the extortion: Disney’s money won’t be accepted until the company “puts real muscle” behind killing the Florida bill and others like it. The next night, at its annual Hollywood-studded gala, HRC removed Disney’s name from the corporate sponsors list.
Even that whopping amount of protection money wasn’t sufficient. Vowing to defend the “basic human rights” of the LGBTQ+ community, Chapek pledged $5 million to the Human Rights Campaign. The bill also bars teachers from coaching children behind their parents’ backs on the issue. Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek declared his opposition Friday to a Florida state bill that bans instruction for children in grades K-3 about choosing their sexual orientation. Corporations should be serving their customers, not trying to override the democratic process, like thousand-pound gorillas undoing what the electorate-including their own customers-wants. These titans are throwing their companies’ clout and cash behind activists pushing gender-fluidity lessons for kindergarteners and other extreme political causes.Įxpect this corporate activism to backfire. Woke corporate CEOs seem to think they know better than voters what’s best for the country.
