Parents, pay attention. This is not the Walt Disney of yesteryear.
Today’s Disney has gone full woke mode, caving to far-left ideologies that ban mention of boys versus girls, ladies versus gentlemen, in favor of LGBTQ agendas that deny any differences between sexes and that insist gender is as changeable as clothing.
“Disney Exec. Commits to 50% of Characters Being ‘LGBTQIA and Racial Minorities,’” Inside the Magic wrote in a recent headline about corporate President Karey Burke’s recent remarks.
“As the mother [of] one transgender child and one pansexual child, [I want to see] many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories,” she said during a company Zoom call first covered by Christopher Rufo.
Fifty percent?
That’s not even representative of America’s demographics.
That’s not just woke.
That’s doing the devil’s work.
Disney, with its Reimagine Tomorrow tagline and campaign, is reimagining a future where children have been sexually charged from the youngest of ages. How else to describe the corporation’s resistance to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis-slash-Republicans’ new “Parental Rights in Education” law that prohibits schools from teaching about sexual orientation and gender choice to kindergartners, first-graders, second-graders and third-graders?
To stand opposed to a law that bans the filling of 9-year-olds’ minds with images of boys changing into girls is to stand opposed to sanity.
To resist a rule that prevents 6-year-olds from learning that girls can become boys with a little help from modern medicine and surgery is to resist all that’s right, and rather embrace all that’s wrong.
It’s difficult to teach these ideas without delving, at some point, into the nature of sex, sexual choice, sexual normalcies, sexual freedoms. And all that’s to delve — eventually, at some point, to some degree — into the realm of sexualizing children because it opens the door, eventually, at some point, to some degree, for questions about private parts and differences between private parts and why those differences exist in the first place.
Little kindergartners don’t need to learn from their teachers about their private parts.
They need to learn from their teachers how to cut with scissors and color inside the lines.
But Disney, today’s Disney, doesn’t see it this way. The corporation’s values have fallen into the cesspool. The company’s moral compass doesn’t seem so much about providing fantasy experiences for children as it does about turning children into sexual fantasies for adults. But love is love, after all — right?
Wrong. When love is love, anything goes. This is where the left leads. This is where Disney is following.
“Theme park employees caught in sex stings, child porn arrests,” CNN reported on Disney, Universal Studios and SeaWorld employees in 2014.
“Four Disney employees were arrested in a massive undercover operation targeting human traffickers, child predators and prostitution,” NBC News reported in March of 2022.
It’s only natural to assume that where children gather, so, too, the child predators.
But it’s also natural to assume that adults in positions of power will do their best to protect children from predators, from evil influences, from wickedness and devilish designs.
On that, Disney falls short.
“To ALL who come to this happy place, welcome,” the corporation put out in a social media message. “Disney Parks, Experiences and Products is committed to creating experiences that support family values for every family, and will not stand for discrimination in any form. We oppose any legislation that infringes on basic human rights, and stand in solidarity and support our LGBTQIA+ Cast, Crew, and Imagineers and fans who make their voices heard today and every day.”
Like the Boy Scouts of America, which has seen its membership drop massively in recent years, due in part to executive changes that embraced leftist standards of inclusivity and tolerance and diversity, Disney will lose parental support for its products.
But not before damaging some kids in the process.
“[W]hoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,” Matthew teaches in the Bible, “it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
Disney would do well to take this page.
