Dear CEO of The Walt Disney Company Bob Chapek:As you'll see over and over again, you can never be woke enough for the Left.
I'm not talking about
liberals. I'm talking about
Leftists. There is a difference.
Like many business leaders, you are going to be forced to decide: Attempt to appease the Left (which is futile), or endure their vitriol & hissy fits, and focus on everyone else: liberals, centrists, independents, libertarians, conservatives, the politically disinterested.
Keep in mind the Leftists don't want your company to own anything, create value or payments for shareholders, make decisions about who you hire and how much you pay them, or make profits. No matter how much you try to appease them culturally or politically, they do not believe your company should exist independent of being an arm of centralized government.
The recent battle was over
Florida's HB 1557, falsely labeled the "Don't Say Gay" bill by professional liars.
What did the legislation actually say?- Parents have to be able to access to their child's school records, including health records
- School district staff can't be prohibited from telling parents about their child's health
- Third grade or before, no instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity
- Inform parents at the beginning of the school year what health services are offered and allow the parents to opt their students out of a service
- Third grade or before, any health questionnaire given to students must be approved of by their parent
That's it. What the problem with that? Who objects to that?
Leftists do. They want to be able to use taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate Kindergartners into the Leftist ideologies on sexual orientation and gender identity. So, they want to be able to encourage Kindergarteners to think of their penis as a problem they'll need to remove, and talk with them about sex. And they want to hide from parents that they are doing this. This is evil. This is insanity.
These students shouldn't be subjected to that. They should be learning how to read, write, speak, and understand English; mathematics; and hopefully some geography, history, science, and art.
On one side, you have people who want to be able so sexualize Kindergartners and promote mutilation to them.
On the other side, you have people who want parents to be able to object to this.
This shouldn't be a hard decision.
Yes, there are some very noisy people in your company, on social media, and in media who screech about how this legislation is bad. Perhaps you should do what you can to keep those in your employ from having access to children when they are on your dime? You should definitely not bend over for them.
It's time to stand up to them and say "No, I'm not going to bend over for you."
It is time to stand up to them and tell them the core of your corporation is about family entertainment and you're not going to push the agenda of people who want to sexualize Kindergarteners. If they stop coming to Disneyworld or Disneyland, if they quit working for you, then your company will be better off in the long run.
UPDATE: People who mock your groveling before them because they don't like the medium of presentation are proving my point. There is no appeasing this mob of unstable, unhappy people who are being agitated by people bent on sexualizing children and putting division between children and their parents.
