PUSHBAC AGAINST DISNEY

Disney is probably the most famous brand in the family entertainment industry. Shockingly, Disney recently took the position of opposing the “Parental Rights in Education” bill of Florida. This is the bill that activist opponents have incorrectly called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The bill is well founded and logical and prohibits in-classroom instruction on sexual orientation issues or gender identity for young children between 5 and 9 years old.

The bill is designed to protect the proper growth development of these small children, clearly a noble endeavor. Disney’s lack of support, and even worse, its opposition seems egregious. An entertainment company who produces entertainment content should not be involving itself in political matters – particularly when it relates to trying to protect children’s well being. Additionally, there has not been enough experience on this subject with regard to measuring the affect on children psychologically and otherwise.

Should you show support a company which is openly opposed to a bill constructed with the goal of trying to protect children. Seems obvious that this needs a lot of PUSHBAC.

Points You Might Want to Mention:

Do you want to let Disney know that you would not be inclined to buy their products? Have you thought about telling your friends and associates to do the same?
Parents, let Disney know your opinion on this issue. Let them know how this will affect your comfort level with Disney and how this has affected your opinion of their company.
Do you think it’s proper for prominment entertainment companies to try to influence children on such a major, life-changing decision?
Let Disney know that their reputation has already been diminished. How much more damage are they willing to cause?
Disney’s reputation has already taken a notable hit. They should modify their position and maybe acknowledge that they are an entertainment company and are not an activist entity. A formal retraction would seem to be in order. You would think an entertainment company should have more concern for its customers.
