Yes it’s taking away a privilege but it’s being done as a punishment obviously. As a parent you are surely familiar with taking away a privilege as punishment.
None of the principled reasons to remove the privilege occurred to these guys before the Ed bill. In fact these very same clowns just wrote a new and rather substantial Disney privilege into law a just a few months ago. (Tech reg bill applies to all social media companies ‘unless owned by a company that operates a large amusement park in the state’).
Do you not understand politics or are you being intentionally obtuse because corporate America got gored for coloring outside of the lines?
Odd question, are you really asking me if I understand that politicians misuse and abuse their power? Of course I do.
But I don’t fucking cheer it on.
DON’T let them eat cake.

Because Disney initiated this, by doing something totally unrelated to their business, and attempted to social engineer the state of Florida, I don't think it is an abuse of power. I think it's what politicians of all stripes do when something or someone gives them the middle finger.
-
I don't cheer it on, as much as I recognize what happens when you bare-foot kick a porcupine.
Pols are pols. They may have different political views, but in some instances, they ALL act alike.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Disney exercising their first amendment rights isn’t casting the first stone.
-
Which is precisely the problem.

I don’t necessarily see this as an abuse. If they were to decide to begin a 3 year road improvement project at the highways directly at Disney’s exits, slowing traffic to 1 lane… That would be an abuse. Cutting Disney’s liquor licenses would be an abuse… This is a matter of saying “You’re welcome to your opinions, but we are not going to actively reward you while you work to undermine the will of the people of Florida. That’s entirely different.

If the bill makes a big enough subset of Disney’s employees and customers upset, makes it tougher for Disney to recruit new employees or gain new customers, then it is related to Disney’s business.

Disney has been representative of buttoned down mainstream pop culture all along. The only difference now is that Disney is being led, rather than leading.

Also, why should you cheer that the state is prohibiting schools from teaching X, Y, or Z? You do not believe in “local control” anymore, that you now welcome the state to take away the local school’s freedom to locally decide what to teach?
Look, where you stick your dick is no business of mine. Do with it what you wish. But there is something inherently evil about grooming and preying on children, before they decide what their sexual orientation will be.
Since the state should enact laws to protect the most vulnerable among us, and in this case the state is actively financing public schools, they do have a say in the rules and curriculum of public schools in the state of Florida.
Alternatively, if you feel that sexual function, orientation recruitment and transgender experimentation should be a part of a school curriculum for K-3 students, I invite you to establish an alternative to the Florida public school system and invite all comers who wish to participate in your alternative educational establishment.
Live long and prosper.

No school is doing that on the matter of sexual orientation. You’re just erecting straw man and making shit up. Now on the matter of religion, there are plenty of schools (e.g., “Sunday schools”) really pushing specific religions and even specific denominations hard on to very young children, if you want to worry about young children being groomed before they can make their own choices.
You continue to be wrong about sexual orientation being a choice. Which church or temple or mosque or synagogue or house of worship to go to, which congregation or sect or coven to join, what scripture to read, what prayers to recite … those are indeed choices. Who to love? Not so much. I will even give you a simple way to falsify this: you show me you romantically loving another man — this will show that you can really “choose” your orientation. Go ahead and surprise me.

No, the person making shit up and driving an agenda is you, my friend. Young children are very malleable. They trust what adults tell them. At this age, people should be worried whether they can tie their own shoes or whether they can begin to read, not whether they are a boy without a penis.
What you want is invasive. It is subversive of parental responsibility and authority.
It is evil. It is in some ways, pedophilic.
Keep your hands and your sex organs off of young children.

Your use of the word "love" rather than "be sexually attracted to" betrays a lack of comfort with what is actually being discussed. This is likely leading to cognitive dissonance, and you should work to correct it.

this isn't a discussion about the morality or ethics of homosexuality or transgenderism, or the biological basis for either. We can have another thread about that if you would like.
This thread is specifically about the Florida bill, Disney's response, the State's response, and the (in)appropriateness of all/any of the above.

Schools doing that is exactly what started this controversy.
Teachers on Libs of TikTok bragged about teaching evil to kindergarten students.
This caused some parents to wonder if they want their child to be taught about alternative sex practices in kindergarten.
Many parents decided they did not want this taught to their young children.
Disney decided they would fight to force this teaching on young children.
Teachers (with green hair) were teaching this, no straw man here.
You should pay closer attention when you watch Tucker Carson Tonight.

So, a conservative big business was given political favors by the conservative political establishment long ago, and now tribal leftists are positing some moral obligation for the government to perpetuate those favors forever?
Haha Copper how did you get Horace’s login info?
