Rich Lowry writes that Disney should be an example.
As part of its campaign to urge Disney to speak out against the hateful “Don’t Say Gay” legislation now pending in the Florida legislature, AHF will spearhead simultaneous rallies urging the Walt Disney Company—which has its famed Walt Disney World in Orlando, the very heart of the Sunshine State—on Thursday, March 3, at 10:00 a.m ET. in ORLANDO, FL and 10:00 a.m PT in BURBANK, CA home of Disney’s worldwide corporate headquarters. Just like that, tyranny has descended on Florida.
There’s a reason this fight escalated to this point, though. Disney was the aggressor in the battle over the education bill, lied about it, and pledged to work to repeal it. “Classroom instruction,” the law says, “by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
Like so many companies before, Disney calculated the risk/reward of gratuitously taking up a left-wing political and cultural fight and considered it all reward, no risk. The Florida legislature decided to convince it that it was wrong.
