Time for Disney to dig deep and double down!

Time to release of “Dylan’s year of Girlhood, a Celebration!” animated feature!

Its been my experience that “diversity officers” in corporations don’t do much, except bloat corporate bureaucracies and issue reports full of woke slogans that no one reads. I expect she had little/no input into the film-making process

Disney is already “woke” through and through. There’s plenty of other people responsible for their bad movies.

Chief diversity officer and senior vice president of Disney, Latondra Newton, has quit her role after more than six years following a devastating box office bombs from recent ‘woke’ films.

In an internal memo from Disney chief human resources officer Sonia Coleman announcing Newton’s departure on Tuesday:

Here are several indicators a business is not maximizing shareholder wealth and meeting its fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders. They have a Chief Diversity Officer and a Chief Human Resources Officer. Plus, they have women in any so-called leadership role.

I think it’s kind of weird how these companies expect to make money on movies that cater exclusively to a tiny minority of their audience. It speaks to the big megaphone that’s provided to those tiny minorities. Doesn’t translate to box office ratings where the money comes out of the wallets.

You’d think these corporations would learn that hiring a ‘diversity officer’ cost the company much more than salary and benefits.

Chief diversity officer is a job that should not exist.

I agree. Any “diversity” anything is nothing more than pinko feel-good subsidies.
