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.
Yeah because who wants black kids to feel welcome at Disney World? /s
Serious answer?
Certainly not the frozen head of Walt Disney.
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.
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.
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.
