DISNEY HAS FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS OVER THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HE APPOINTED TO OVERSEE THE COMPANY’S SELF-GOVERNED THEME PARK DISTRICT. DISNEY ARGUES THE BOARD IS PART OF A BROADER CAMPAIGN OF RETALIATION FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST FLORIDA’S PARENTAL RIGHTS IN EDUCATION ACT … WHICH CRITICS CONTINUE TO INSIST ON ERRONEOUSLY REFERRING TO AS THE “DON’T SAY GAY” LAW. GOVERNOR DESANTIS DEFENDS THE BOARD BY ARGUING IT CHANGES THE DISTRICT … NOT DISNEY…
DISNEY IS ASKING A FEDERAL JUDGE TO VOID THE GOVERNOR’S BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE GROUNDS THAT IT’S A VIOLATION OF THE COMPANY’S FREE SPEECH.
