Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterThe Florida Legislature voted Thursday to terminate Disney’s self-governing district in Orlando, in a move intended to retaliate for the company’s opposition to the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill.The House of Representatives approved the bill on a vote of 70-38, a day after the measure passed through the state Senate.
The bill is expected to be signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The bill would dissolve the 40-square-mile district that Disney controls, called the Reedy Creek Improvement District, as of June 1, 2023.DeSantis has taken aim at “special privileges” for Disney, since the company announced its opposition to the Parental Rights in Education law last month.
The bill forbids classroom discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade, and it mandates that all discussion in later grades be “age appropriate.” Parents are also given the power to sue school districts over alleged violations.
Disney came out against the law only after an uprising from its own employees, who faulted the company for staying silent in the face of an anti-LGBT agenda.
