Disney does not give direct donations to BSA, but Disney's VoluntEARS program allows its employees to do volunteer work in exchange for cash donations to the charities of their choice. Employees taking part in the VoluntEARS program will no longer be able to submit the funds to BSA. The change goes into effect in JAN 2015.

The Walt Disney Company's "Standards of Business Conduct" includes protections against "harassment or discrimination" based on, amongst other things, "sex, sexual orientation, and gender identification." Disney employees, however, will still be allowed to volunteer with the BSA.

I think it is California that prohibits judges from joining this organization for the same reason.

And California Democrats sought to END statewide bans on Communists in educator roles.

Very telling.
