DISNEY CEO Bob Chapek tells workers the company made a MISTAKE by not publicly opposing Florida bill that bans teachers from giving lessons on gender identity in kindergarten through to third grade

Embattled Disney CEO Bob Chapek told employees during a virtual town hall Monday that he regretted not taking a public stance against Florida's controversial 'Don't Say Gay' bill.

Chapek, who is already facing leadership problems amid a rift with his predecessor, Bob Iger, and discontent from employees who remain loyal to Iger thanks to his glittering tenure at the helm of the entertainment giant, said that Disney made a mistake by not publicly decrying the bill.

'I and the leadership team are determined to use this moment as a catalyst for more meaningful and lasting change,' Chapek, 61, said during a rushed virtual town hall meeting.

The so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill, which bans the teaching of lessons on sexuality, gender identity and sexual orientation from kindergarten up to third grade, has led to planned walkouts by Disney employees condemning the company's silence over the issue.

Chapek also pledged to fiercely oppose Texas Governor Greg Abbott's attempt to investigate parents of children undergoing gender-transitioning procedures for child abuse, The Wall Street Journal reported.

This man spits the face of his own customers in order to pander to a tiny minority of perverts given a loud voice by the fake news echo chamber.

No parent would ever tolerate their children being groomed like this in his parks, and he knows it.

Yeah. Walt would never make comments like this.
The Family Company he founded and led has become a Woke Anti-Family Company led by an idiot.

Andrew Klavan interviewed a woman (sorry can’t remember her name) Friday who was in the know on the subject.

This Disney leader , she claims, is much less leftist than Eisner. She explained the big shareholders of Disney are woke and he was targeted by several leftist groups that threatened him through boycotting etc.

So he caved. I actually have the link to the show though, it’s good:

Chepek is hated by many in Disney for not being woke enough.

Company is demonic. It can’t survive cultural marxism and will simmer and rot itself away.

All woke companies should be paying a 95% tax rate. Because it would truly show how woke they are.

The legsation should be strengthened to include older kids. Maybe that will induce Disney to move its moral pollution elsewhere.

Nothing projects corporate leadership like bowing down to the mob over a common sense ideology.

have been for years. problem is, there are more stupid people in the US than people of principle, so it has no impact. Still, not changing what I’m doing just because everyone else is stupid.

When Disney bought Star Wars - broken heart.
When Disney bought Marvel Comics - broken heart.

And directly after those events, both went woke. go figure. They are also dead to me and no longer get my income.

Disney is a perverse corporation intent on the grooming of children to the end that they be perverse.

The evil forces behind this entity really need to be put down forever.
