Diversity, equity and inclusion programs were abolished Tuesday from Walt Disney World’s governing district, now controlled by appointees of Gov. Ron DeSantis, in an echo of the Florida governor’s agenda which has championed curtailing such programs in higher education and elsewhere.
I mean how much longer until the Republican party just comes out and states that racism is one of their offical platforms?

No. They just claim they can’t be racist because they have a lot of (insert affected minority) friends or that they allowed black people on their football team.
It seems like a popular dodge among racists nowadays is to say that racism as a concept is not a thing.
No, I think youre confusing him with joe Biden.
People are saying…
If they did, it’d be the only thing on their platform.
Seriously. In 2020 they literally ran without a platform other than, “Whatever Trump wants, that’s what we want.”
Just, full on authoritarianism.
It’s been that way since the 1800’s.
Yeah because who wants black kids to feel welcome at Disney World? /s
Serious answer?
Certainly not the frozen head of Walt Disney.
he’s a corpsicle? seem he’d have a higher chance of survival as an animated cartoon
DeSantis found the one Black person willing to put up with his endless string of crap.
Glenton Gilzean, the district’s new administrator who is African American and a former head of the Central Florida Urban League, called such initiatives “illegal and simply un-American." Gilzean has been a fellow or member at two conservative institutions, the James Madison Institute and the American Enterprise Institute Leadership Network, as well as a DeSantis appointee to the Florida Commission on Ethics.
Yes because surely antagonizing the company that employs the most of your constituents by quite a large margin can only end well.
They’re the single largest employer. They don’t employ most of his constituents.
That said, Florida relies on tourism to keep the state budget afloat. Disney is a big part of that.
More pandering from a fool. As if this will impact how Disney operates. This guy has no clue what he is doing, ten xing down on a losing strategy. So much for Harvard and Yale, he should get a refund.
He paid good money for his name to be on that piece of paper! No way they’re returning that bribe
Desantis looks like a chimp

Florida is a weird place. But DEI is nothing but a huge scam. We have a DEI department where I work and a PHD that they keep on payroll to run these ridiculous trainings. The DEI trainings make a large number Having sat the African american and Latino folks uncomfortable at work and have had to deal with many of them coming to me about it privately in supervisions. Equity is a philosophy that in my personal opinion is not the way the world should work. And this opinion is shared by many. If you want equity go to north Korea.
