Florida businessman Brett Kingstone called for Disney CEO Bob Chapek to resign or be fired following the company’s “woke” advocacy against a parental rights legislation in Florida.
“It’s outrageous what Disney is doing. .. the company is supposedly based itself on family-friendly entertainment, it is the opposite now that they’re advocating,” Kingston, CEO of Max King Realty, said.
Disney had challenged a new parental rights bill signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in late March.
The law prohibits teachers from instructing about sexual orientation and gender identity topics to children under the third grade. Proponents of the measure said that teaching young children about such topics is inappropriate and amounts to indoctrinating children with Marxist-underpinned gender ideology.
