I posted a couple of weeks ago on this blog how\u00a0distressed I was<\/a>\u00a0at the turn that the management of Disney\u2019s corporation had gone of late and having made a personal decision to delete Disney from my range of entertainment interests. Now it seems that Disney management is going full woke and full steam ahead \u2026 which, OK, is the choice of corporations to make in their sphere. If management of Disney wants to go\u00a0all-gay all the time<\/a>, in catering to a bare 2-3% of the public, it\u2019s their company, their choice. Maybe not a good one, but theirs to make.
\nNow, what isn\u2019t OK is for a corporation to come out\u00a0full-throated political<\/a>\u00a0in the case of Florida\u2019s law limiting what can be construed as sex ed to the elementary school set; this aimed at kids barely aware that there are differences between boys and girls. Believe me, parents and grandparents feel very strongly that such lessons are wildly inappropriate \u2013 to the point of being construed as sexual grooming. Normal parents (and grandparents) will not put up with lesson materiel which is almost guaranteed to damage children, especially as a fair number of elementary school teachers seem prone to overshare regarding their own sexual conduct.

Families and kids were formerly the Disney audience and favored consumers. For decades, the entertainment parks, the movies, the whole ball-o-wax that is the Disney brand was scrupulously wholesome, family-oriented, a version of a small-town American main street all sanitized to a fair-the-well, safe, clean, and G-rated. The parks were supposed to be fun, magical places, safe places; maybe expensive, but worth it for the fun of seeing your kid talk to Chip the chipmunk, or Princess Aurora, have a blast riding through Mr. Toad\u2019s wild ride, or watching an almost-full-scale paddle wheel steamboat circulate through the lagoon. As I had posted before, I grew up, visiting Disneyland in Anaheim, California \u2013 as a very great occasional treat, through school, Scouts or with the grandparents. I took my daughter there, when she was a toddler, and she in turn had \u2013 I emphasize the past tense here \u2013 expressed an ambition to take Wee Jamie to Disneyworld when he was a little older and she had made enough of a bundle in real estate to afford a week or so.<\/p>\n

At this point, this week \u2013 I\u2019m done with Disney. Completely. Regretfully, but there it is. No more Disney-themed merchandise\u00a0(not that we ever bought much to start with)<\/em>\u00a0or going to see, stream or buy DVDs of Disney movies. No visits to D-Land, or D-World. Just done with them. They certainly won\u2019t miss me, I suspect, and they might be able to carry on, depending on what they have banked, and the patronage of people who don\u2019t really care that the Disney corporate leadership are in favor of grooming prepubescent children sexually. There may be a lot of other parents and grandparents like me out there \u2013 and perhaps a boycott might have an adverse effect on Disney. I\u2019m sorry for those conservatives who work there. But the Disney organization today is not what it once was, when Walt Disney was the man in charge. It is now something malign, harmful, even \u2013 look at the train-wreck lives of the most recent Disney juvenile actresses and actors. There is something nasty in their woodshed, and I want no part of it for my grandson or any other children that I care about. Discuss as you wish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
