Should Families Boycott Disney?

            Parents can strengthen their families, communities, and nations by being aware of the goals of Disney. Recent events show that Disney can no longer be trusted to provide clean and innocent entertainment for children. Parents can no longer associate Disney with wholesome entertainment and protection of innocent children. Any such ideas were shattered by the recent disclosure of excerpts from a Disney Zoom meeting that were received and published by journalist Christopher Rufo on Twitter. See also.

SCOOP: I’ve obtained video from inside Disney’s all-hands meeting about the Florida parental rights bill, in which executive producer Latoya Raveneau says her team has implemented a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and is regularly “adding queerness” to children’s programming.

SCOOP: Disney corporate president Karey Burke says, “as the mother [of] one transgender child and one pansexual child,” she supports having “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories” and wants a minimum of 50 percent of characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities.

SCOOP: Disney diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware says the company has eliminated all mentions of “ladies,” “gentlemen,” “boys,” and “girls” in its theme parks in order to create “that magical moment” for children who do not identify with traditional gender roles.

SCOOP: Disney production coordinator Allen March says his team is committed to “exploring queer stories” and has created a “tracker” to make sure they are creating enough “gender nonconforming characters,” “canonical trans characters,” and “canonical bisexual characters.”

            As you can see from the above tweets, Disney executives have chosen to leave the arena of wholesome entertainment. They are much more interested in supporting the LGBTQIA community than in providing wholesome and appropriate entertainment for children. The following tweet from the Walt Disney Company further shows their agenda.

“Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law. Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that. We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.”

            The LGBTQ+ community, Disney, mainstream media, and others refer to the Florida bill as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. This is ironic because the word gay is not in the bill at all, and the bill does not make it illegal to say gay. What the bill does, however, is protect children in kindergarten through third grade from being indoctrinated into the LGBTQ+ community.

            Florida does not allow any sex education – same sex or opposite sex -- in its schools until fifth grade. Therefore, teachers and other adults should not be discussing anything about sex in the classrooms until fifth grade. The new law is in place to protect children and to protect parental rights to instruct their children about sex in their own way and at their time of choice. Obviously, Disney and the LGBTQ+ community want to push their own agenda rather than what the children need and parents desire.

            I have long been aware of the indoctrination imbedded in Disney films. I love “Mary Poppins,” and I watched it many times before I became aware of the indoctrination in it. I was shocked when I realized that it pushes the feminist agenda by minimizing the value of men. Since that day, I have been more open minded while watching Disney movies.

            With the latest revelations from Disney executives, wise parents will rethink their allegiance to all things Disney. I encourage parents to cancel any vacations to Disney Land or Disney World, to drop the Disney channel, and to stop purchasing Disney products. Parents can strengthen their family, community, and nation by being aware of what their children are learning from entertainment sources.
