Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill that gives him control of Walt Disney World’s self-governing district, punishing the company over its opposition to the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law.

which bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade and lessons deemed not age-appropriate.

In taking on Disney, DeSantis furthered his reputation as a culture warrior willing to battle perceived political enemies and wield the power of state government to accomplish political goals, a strategy that is expected to continue ahead of his potential White House run. The coming months will be critical to DeSantis as he builds his profile out beyond Florida. He is expected to utilize the coming regular legislative session, which begins next week, to bolster his conservative agenda before he announces his candidacy for president.

I wonder what happens to the dog who finally catches the car?

Disney paid a dear price for opposing the parental rights bill. Disney really surprised me when they decided to support teachers who try to have inappropriate secret sexual discussions with first, second and third graders.

Im surprised you’d be against this. He’s simply lifting their ability to not pay taxes.

I thought you liberal media types were all about having corporations pay their fair share of taxes, why would this upset you and your liberal puppet following?

Oh GEE WHIZ!! Which Disney is in Florida? I can never keep up with those Disney parks.

This is the party line in concert with Trump who started the Disney assault objecting to ABC's Jimmy Kimmel's political comments. So stay safe, Philadelphia Inquirer, don't be unkind to Trump.

'punishing'

That sound you hear is money leaving Florida.

i hope that desantis sues every medium that falsely reports on this bill there is NOTHING about it that hates gays MY DAD is gay and came out way before this social media stuff. way back in 89. Enough is enough with creating drama that isnt there READ THE BILL

You meant to say the “erroneously so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law.”

Patsgirl777 When your target market are hate groups and MAGAts

DeSantis is a government welfarian stooge. But he’s still better than Disney.

He's in the weeds. This Prying Governor routine won't play nationally. DeSantis is an unnecessary meddler.

Wait till they leave And they will
