PARENTAL RIGHTS IN FLORIDA AND EVERYWHERE ELSE

Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 8th day of April in this the year of our Lord 2022. I will be discussing the law recently passed by the Florida legislature and signed by Governor DeSantis entitled Parental Rights in Education but often defamed with the lie Don’t Say Gay. How did this law provoke the Disney Corporation to risk its reputation as a family place, a kid friendly place, a happy place, a safe place for vacation, in defiance of the law?

A secondary title for this Report could be, Does the State Own Your Children? Perhaps when you deliver your kids into the hands of the state system of education or indoctrination, they are yours no longer, but wholly owned by the all-knowing state. In Florida, the governor and the legislature have decided to oppose state ownership of children.

 When Governor DeSantis signed the bill, he announced it as a parental rights bill that bans teachers from giving classroom instruction on “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” in kindergarten through third grade. He said in Florida, we not only know that parents have a right to be involved we insist that parents have a right to be involved.

Those who insist that they have the right to sexualize and exploit young children immediately cast the bill as the don’t say gay bill, but the bill, all 7 pages of it, does not mention the word gay. The three cohosts of the Oscars mocked it, repeatedly saying gay. DeSantis gave it right back to them saying, “If the people who held up degenerates like Harvey Weinstein as exemplars and as heroes and as all that, if those are the types of people that are opposing us on parents ‘rights, I wear that like a badge of honor.” He went on to say that what they hope to do with their slogans and false narrative is camouflage their true intentions.

It was expected that anytime any state legislature tried to protect the state’s children from gender identity indoctrination there would be angry pushback, but who would have thought that The Walt Disney Company would risk its reputation to go all in to defend the proposition that 5-year-olds should be exposed to sexualized content in public schools and Disney committed to further sexualizing their content aimed at young children.

Disney came out swinging and did not mask the true intentions of the Walt Disney Company. The company’s statement said, “Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that.” That statement was a declaration of war in the culture wars currently being waged across the country. Meanwhile, Pixar, Disney’s animation studio, pressured the company to be more gay-friendly and the company quickly agreed. One has to question whether it is possible for Disney to be even more gay friendly, but the company is determined to try.

The attitude of Disney is not normal. It is not normal for a once family friendly company to presume that the rights of a tiny sexual minority take precedence over the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit. The education/indoctrination system, backed and funded by the Walt Disney Company, wants your children to be sexualized, or groomed, if you prefer, in any way they decide to do it. Parents, in their view, are to have no say in the matter. In order to destroy the old system of intact families raising their children, they want a new normal where they own your kids, and they have the exclusive right to decide what’s best for them,
