On Friday, Just the News<\/a> reported that Florida Governor Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that will strip Walt Disney World of its special tax and administrative status after the company opposed a parental rights bill the state passed in late March. I have very mixed emotions about this. The head of a corporation should be free to express opposition to a law without the state government penalizing the corporation. It is quite possible that it was time for the ‘Disney deal’ to end, but I am uncomfortable with it being in response to a political stand.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special administrative unit under Disney control will cease to exist<\/a> under the measure, according to CBS News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Florida passed a parental rights bill, derided by critics as a “Don’t Say Gay” measure, the company organized<\/a> opposition to the law and vowed to see it repealed. The company’s stance earned sharp rebuke from Florida Republicans, who quickly moved to revoke the company’s tax privileges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In late March, DeSantis signed<\/a> into law the Parental Rights in Education bill which limited discussion of sexual topics in the classroom by grade levels and restricted inappropriate material.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disney stock fell<\/a> 2.79% on Friday, according to Google Finance. Company stock has fallen 31.25% in the past 6 months and trades for $118.27 per share as of press time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe that the Parental Rights in Education bill was a good bill and that Governor DeSantis was correct in signing it. I also believe that a lot of what was reported about the bill was inaccurate and designed to create opposition to the bill. However, I am sincerely concerned about the way the Disney situation was handled. Would conservatives be celebrating if the shoe were on the other foot?<\/p>\n
