Ron DeSantis has hit back at Disney after the company’s CEO Bob Chapek publicly opposed Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by activists, the recently passed legislation in Florida prohibits “classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity” in certain grade levels in schools.
The bill, also known as the Parental Rights in Education Bill, will ban the discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in schools for children under the age of 10.
The Florida governor slammed the entertainment and media conglomerate and criticized its links to China.
“You have companies, like at Disney, that are going to say and criticize parents’ rights, they’re going to criticize the fact that we don’t want transgenderism in kindergarten, in first-grade classrooms,” DeSantis said at an event with supporters in Boca Raton, per a video obtained by Fox News.
