Jeff Childers did a nice job of covering this in his morning Coffee and Covid Substack as he lives down the road from Orlando. I already commented there that sadly I was not surprised at these revelations and we've been watching their level of depravity go deeper for decades. Walt himself was not exactly welcoming to anything Christian. Disneyland had a "main street" with a church conspicuously absent. Their films and programming has long demeaned men and fathers. IMO, there has been nothing pro-family about them since I became an adult which is a LONG time ago!

Our son has never been to Disney World or Disneyland or Epcot or Universal Studios. We spent an entire month in Florida during a sabbatical and never set foot in any of those. I asked him recently (in his mid-20s) if he has felt deprived? Not at all.

As I said on Jeff's Substack, I've never understood the lack of discernment many who profess Christ have when it comes to Disney, but after the past two years of meeting so few who are thinking critically, I should stop wondering.

"It doesn't matter whether you're the parent of young children." I'm afraid it does matter. While people without kids may be sympathetic to the travails of parents who are saddled with raising children into a world of slavery to TPTB, it will be difficult in the extreme to get childless couples to care very much about what Disney is doing to children. They simply will not be invested in the troubles of children, troubles that do not affect them. Does this matter? Probably it does, since TPTB will not be swayed by complaints that come only from parents, but they might be swayed if the entire population complained about what is happening to children.
