'TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS': Florida gov dismisses Disney backlash to education bill, says he's going to govern 'based on the best interests of the people of Florida'
Monday, bans teachers from giving"classroom instruction" on"sexual orientation" or"gender identity" in kindergarten through third grade. Critics have expressed outrage over the bill, suggesting it is anti-LGBTQ and bans the word"gay" in schools.
Yet, in his conversation with radio host Guy Benson on Tuesday, DeSantis said Disney was"not even engaged" in the critical processes leading up to the passage of the bill. "I mean, they could have called them and said that they had problems with it," he continued."They didn't do it. And, so, to say it should have never been law in the first place -- they were not even engaged at those critical processes. They're responding to, I would say, left-wing activists…rather than the actual substance of it."
"I think they overstepped their bounds with that statement," the governor said."They do not run this state. I'm not going to let our state be hijacked by a bunch of California corporate executives. And the fact of the matter is, I think they think that whatever they want in Florida they get. That may have been true in the past, that is not true now.
