Casualty Of The Culture War–
I think the Disney Corporation hasn’t been paying close enough attention to the culture war. That war hasn’t been going very well for the left, yet Disney somehow thinks it can win where others have failed. It has decided to engage in the war for our children.
Last year, schools across the country informed parents that what was taught to children (or how they were groomed) was none of the parent’s business. They would continue to teach critical race theory (CRT) and normalize gender dysphoria – and the parents had better stay out of it, or else.
Loudon County Virginia became the poster child for nationwide radicalism in schools. They were letting boys, pretend to be girls, to facilitate sexual assaults, on school property. They even went so far as to have a father arrested, for attempting to bring to public light that his daughter had been raped in a school bathroom by one such transgender “girl.”
When the National School Boards Association suggested that protesting parents should be treated as criminals – and the FBI decided to give them some help with that – the exposure of the conflict went nationwide and triggered a counter-revolution. The left gravely underestimated the protectiveness of mama and papa bear.
In support of parents, conservative politicians began to run on a parental rights platform. Glenn Youngkin’s gubernatorial win and conservative wins in countless school board and local elections across the country last year are credited to the movement that protesting parents created.
Numerous states passed various forms of anti-CRT legislation. They either banned its teaching outright or defunded schools that promoted it.
The Florida legislature has just passed the “Parental Rights in Education Bill.” It pushes back against the normalization of gender dysphoria in school, by making it illegal for teachers to discuss sexuality with children in kindergarten through the third grade. That legislation was far too radical for the radicals to ignore. It drew a nationwide response, with overwhelming condemnation from the left, and overwhelming support from parents.
