The Florida legislature voted decisively to revoke the special tax status the Disney corporation has enjoyed in the state for decades in response to its decision to adopt militantly woke policies.
As The New York Times reports:
The upshot: Disney usually gets whatever it wants in Florida.
That era ended on Thursday, when the Florida House voted to revoke Disney World’s designation as a special tax district — a privilege that Disney has held for 55 years, effectively allowing the company to self-govern its 25,000-acre theme park complex. The Florida Senate on Wednesday voted to eliminate the special zone, which is called the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Having cleared the way to this outcome on Tuesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis will almost certainly make the measure official by adding his signature. It would take effect in June of next year.
The swift effort to dissolve Reedy Creek by Florida Republicans has been widely seen as brazen retaliation after Disney, Florida’s largest private employer, paused political donations in the state and condemned a new education law that opponents call “Don’t Say Gay.” The law, known as Parental Rights in Education, among many things prohibits discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity through the third grade in Florida classrooms and limits it for older students.
Conservatives around the state and the nation were jubilant on social media after news of the legislation’s passing broke:

There’s been too much good news in past 3 weeks. CNN+ fails, proving the network is a scam. Chris Wallace gone from Fox. Disney losing its unlawful tax haven status.
Press the advantage.
Gotta stay on guard.

OUTSTANDING !!!
About damn time! Roll tide! Protect our children from these groomers!!!
And Disney has too much invested in Central Florida to merely close up shop and move like companies do all the time in high-taxed up north states.
Kudos to Gov DeSantis.
AND WHY DOES TODAY’S GENERATION OF KINDERGARTEN, 1ST, 2ND, 3RD…. OR ANY GRADE FOR THAT MATTER….. FEEL SO COMPELLED TO SHARE THEIR PERSONAL LOVE & SEX LIFE WITH THEIR STUDENTS??????
I don’t remember any of my teachers telling us that they were neither a man or a woman and that all of us students were neither a boy or a girl either. I don’t remember a man teacher bragging to us about his man lover or a female teacher bragging about her female lover, wife or girlfriend….. and then bringing them into the classroom for “show ‘n tell.”
In fact, none of my teachers (public school teachers no less!!) even bragged about their opposite sex girl/boyfriend or male/female spouse. IMAGINE THAT!!!! HOW DID WE SURVIVE THAT AS STUDENTS????? OH MY!!!!!
AND WHY WAS THAT?
Answer: Because it wasn’t relevant and frankly, no one cared.
congrats to Fla for taking a stand for the common citizens and taking our rights as individual and citizen of a state back. Hurrah!!!!
The adults that think it’s ok to speak about sex to my young children are people I DON’T WANT NEAR MY YOUNG CHILDREN! IT’S SICK. Disney has gone down the toilet for sure. I hope parents have had enough of this. We send our kids to school to learn to read and write, follow directions, math, science etc. That’s THIER JOB! Teachers have NO BUSINESS guiding my kids on topics of sex, transgender, homosexuality. That is MY JOB!!!
KUDOS GOVERNOR DE SANTIS
Disney is for Disney!
Hooray Chap 7 Disney awesome
They want our kids to turn queer
Disney isn’t going to be allowed to groom our kids
Why the long delay before implementation? It’s over a year away. Would Florida be breaking some sort of contract by doing it sooner?
Note to American Action News: could you link us to other sources besides The New York Times? Besides its obvious bias in this article (“widely seen as brazen retaliation” etc.) there is also the drawback that one quickly reaches the end of free reading of its articles and has to subscribe to read them. I’m in that position myself, and I don’t want to subsidize that newslpaper.
Disney is done
Good! Disney thinks they are a separate country, not subject to our laws. They should not have special status, any more than any other theme park venue. And their grooming our kids should be grounds to shut them down! They have no right to do that! Close them up Governor De Santis!
We warned Disney “Go woke, go broke” but did they listen?
