You know this how?

And btw, I didn't see it on Tucker Carlson... I saw it on twitter...

But sure, make up percentages like you do 96.3% of the time...

And why was it shown? Because parents are finally seeing what is going on in their kid's schools. Those two years of Zoom schooling were a real eye-opener...

Eventually, people stop fighting, and we end up with restrictions and reduced freedom for all - except the few who make the rules.

Great rant. Any proof of your accusations? Or is it just your imagination?

Oh, and btw, while John Cathy (of Chick fil a) may state that his religious convictions prohibit homosexuality, his business operations do not, in any way, discriminate against LGBT employees...

Please cite proof of that. Not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe you...

They demagogue small groups and jump from group to group. Today it is the non-existent group of TEACHERS engaged in "GROOMING" children. It is a made up issue from dark conspiracy theories. They might as well pass a law outlawing UNICORNS!

No, the post above is not instilling fear. Nope, not at all... Not one bit...

YOU say it doesn't exist. Millions of parents, who finally got a glimpse of what was going on in their kid's classrooms, feel otherwise...

The new law has a 70% approval rate in FL... Over 60% nationwide...

"“When Americans are presented with the actual language of the new Florida law, it wins support by more than a two-to-one margin.” That’s from a new poll by Public Opinion Strategies. Overall, 61% of people said they supported the “don’t say gay” law, with 26% opposed.

Even more notable is the breadth of that sentiment. Democratic voters in the poll support the law 55% to 29%. Among suburban voters, which could be a decisive group for the midterm elections, it’s 60% to 30%. Parents: 67% to 24%. Biden voters: 53% to 30%. Respondents who “know someone LGBTQ”: 61% to 28%. Those figures might come as a shock to Florida’s progressive activists, including those who happen to work at Walt Disney."

You must have missed the criticisms of college professors that's been going on for DECADES... Yes GREED and POWER at the University level need to be stopped!

Good thing that no other groups of "patriotic, hard working US citizens" haven't been demonized... You know... Like Cops...

Why should Disney get special treatment? Just asking, not that I really care. I am sure it is a great tax revenue for Florida, but I bet it would be more so without special treatment. If I am wrong, I am sure someone will jump in and correct me.

They won't be responsible for that after this.

So for all of those years the non-Disney residents have gotten those services for free?

"The new legislation said that landowners within the Reedy Creek Improvement District, primarily Walt Disney World, would be solely responsible for paying the cost of providing typical municipal services like power, water, roads, fire protection etc.

"Local taxpayers, meaning residents of Orange and Osceola County, would not have to pay for building or maintaining those services.".

But, they committed a sin, by stating that they support thousands of employees and millions of guests, and worst of all they did it publicly.

So much for fee speech.

I hope they don’t move out of the state, I kind of like not paying state income tax.

Not because they stated their opinion. Because they stated that they were going to fight the state officials who were elected to enact laws like the one Disney started railing against. If the state of Florida has basically carved out a tax break for you, you really shouldn’t start trying to fight the state on its properly passed laws. At least I wouldn’t.
