DeSantis is right. Thanks to 'Woke' Disney, my son won't wear his Dalmatian-fur coat.

Wake up, fellow Americans, and join me in fearing the greatest existential threat of our lifetimes: The Walt Disney Co.

That’s right, the same company that for decades has tried to normalize pants-less ducks is now – according to Fox News, my go-to source for things to feel irrationally angry about – attempting to use unabashed, colorfully animated wokeness to destroy American morality.

It all started when Disney caved to the radical leftist woke warriors and called for a repeal of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Parental Rights in Education law. Opponents of the bill DeSantis recently signed into law called it the “don’t say gay bill” just because it makes teachers afraid to use the word “gay” around students.

But we all know it’s a perfectly reasonable measure aimed at helping parents pretend LBGTQ people don’t exist. (It’s similar to the United Kingdom’s Victorian-era Neener-Neener-Neener-Neener Act, which barred people from acknowledging the existence of sex.)

Pathetic. Kind of like the stupid bathroom argument, etc. What idiotic and moronic other things will they target next? They can't target the booming economy, they can't target the constantly improving wages of everyday Americans, but they can target those hardly paying any taxes at all, or zero taxes because of the mutilated tax code, where a secretary pays more as a percentage in taxes than Warren Buffet or others like him (and some pathetic billionaires are still whining about it).
