Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.government is known, as well as a handful of other similar districts by June 2023.
“If Disney wants to pick a fight, they chose the wrong guy,” DeSantis wrote in a campaign fundraising email Wednesday. “As governor, I was elected to put the people of Florida first, and I will not allow a woke corporation based in California to run our state.” “Let’s call this what it is, it’s the punitive, petulant political payback to a corporation who dared to say the emperor has no clothes, but if they behave this next election cycle, maybe we’ll put it back together,” said Sen. Gary M. Farmer, a Democrat.
The push to punish Disney came after it announced that it would suspend political donations in the state and said it was committed to supporting organizations working to oppose Florida’s new law limiting sexual orientation or gender identify instruction in the classroom.
