Disney Needs To Get Rid Of More Than Its CEO

After actively antagonizing parents and conservatives, Disney is scrambling to recover the public’s goodwill by canning CEO Bob Chapek and welcoming back former CEO Bob Iger. The surprise move to reinstate 71-year-old Iger after two years of Chapek’s reign follows a flailing quarterly earnings report. But Disney will have to chuck more than its chief executive into the reject pile to regain the trust of parents put off by the company’s targeting of children with its sexual agenda.

Earlier this month, Disney posted profit and revenue that came in below projections for its fourth fiscal quarter, causing shares to hit a new 52-week low. While the company tried to emphasize growth on its streaming platform, Disney Plus, CNBC noted that “Disney’s streaming services lost $1.47 billion last quarter, more than double the unit’s loss from a year prior.” Later that week, a memo from Chapek revealed plans for a hiring freeze and layoffs. Disney stock is down 40 percent this year alone and shrank by nearly a third under Chapek.

Why might Disney be struggling? Maybe it’s because the supposedly “family-friendly” entertainment behemoth has steadily been feeding a left-wing sexual agenda to children — and bragging about it.

In March, Disney fought against a Florida law barring classroom instruction about sexual ideology in kindergarten through third grade, after the CEO was chastened by LGBT extremists for not speaking up soon or strongly enough. Chapek led the company in vowing to get rid of the law, which even a majority of Democrat voters supported.

Around the same time, in discussions obtained by investigative journalist Chris Rufo, Disney employees were caught openly bragging about filling children’s movies with sexual propaganda.

“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my, like, not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” boasted Latoya Raveneau, an executive producer for Disney Television Animation. “I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness. … No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.”

Another Disney employee advertised a “tracker” he uses to meet self-imposed quotas for LGBT characters in Disney’s “Moon Girl” TV series. President of Disney General Entertainment Karey Burke reportedly signaled a goal that at least 50 percent of Disney characters will be LGBT or racial minorities by the year’s end.

After those leaks, a Trafalgar Group/Convention of States Action poll found that 68 percent of Americans said they were “less likely” to do business with Disney as a result.

That pervasive agenda has been evident from movies like “Lightyear” to shows like “Baymax.” Last year, Walt Disney World also ditched the phrase “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” from its iconic fireworks show for not being “inclusive” enough. Speaking of “inclusion,” Disney segregated employees into “affinity groups” based on their race, as Rufo reported last year.
