Florida Gov. DeSantis on revoking Disney's special status: 'Woke ideology' a 'significant' threat
MSN.com ^ | April 1, 2022 | Kristen Altus, FOX News

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis expanded on the possibility of ending Disney’s self-governing status in response to the company’s pushback on the state’s parental rights bill on "Fox & Friends" Friday.

"Look, there’s policy disputes, and that’s fine," DeSantis explained, "but when you're trying to impose a woke ideology on our state, we view that as a significant threat."

DeSantis’ comments come as Disney has publicly disapproved of a new Florida law which bans discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms. After sending a company-wide email denouncing the legislation, Disney executives announced it would remove "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls" from its park greetings.

"This wokeness will destroy this country if we let it run unabated," DeSantis warned. "So in Florida, we take a very big stand against that."

The governor confirmed that lawmakers are looking at revoking a 55-year-old law which permits Disney to operate as a separate municipality called Reedy Creek Improvement District, equipped with its own privately-owned and operated police, fire, water and waste departments.

Disney is demonstrating that they need oversight.

Why would they be given special status in the first place? Oh, well.

I would imagine Disney is in violation of multiple safety and health codes. Be a shame if a battalion of inspectors and auditors were to descend on the Pedo Kingdom.

Finally i'm seeing some Republicans that know how to fight with the weapons the Democrats use.

We have long been too indulgent of nasty, disgusting quasi illegal behavior and it's time we explained things to them in ways they can comprehend.

Give Disney the option of either knocking off the BS or leaving Florida. Which of course they can’t do. So DeSantis holds all the cards here, this will be a good test of whether he’s got the guts to play hardball, because if he can’t stand up to the fricking Mouse I don’t want him anywhere near the White House.

Stand up to the Grooming Mouse, if you want to make it to the White House.

How’s that?

“Why would they be given special status in the first place?”

That was part of the package to convince dw to come to orlando to begin with.

The perks that dw received would make your hair curl.

Larry Kudrow is supposed to be talking to kilmeade about it today some time.
