Exactly. Put 100 people in a room and you'll get 100 different readings of this bill. "Age and developmentally appropriate???" Give me a break with that crap. |
| The law, in other words, is largely performative. If they explicitly wanted to ban, say, "discussion of sexual activities" in K-2 they could have done that and I doubt many would object. But they went for something vaguer because it's really about ire toward LGBT people - but something focused on them, outside of purely religious circumstances, wouldn't survive constitutional muster (given the recent SCOTUS decision on not being able to fire someone for being LGBT was 6-3, written by Gorsuch). |
I look forward to the challenges making their way through the courts. I also look forward to the backlash/challenge of the Disney retaliation. |
The posters on this thread are either of below average intelligence or pretending they are. I don't think the people of Florida would have any problem explaining to you what their bill means. |
Well you are here so the average intelligent does drop but don’t let that stop you from your propaganda campaign. |
Only because DeSantis is making it clear what the end game is. Reading the bill on its own -- vague as hell. |
You can see the text. It's been quoted extensively in this thread. The language is pretty plain, and very broad, and clearly would ban me, a woman, discussing the fact I have a husband, to 2nd grade students. It would ban me from reading them books like "Ramona and Her Mother" because that's gendering right there, and a depiction of a hetero couple. |

Please Disney come to DMV ! Ocean City, Md or Norfolk, Va could work. Less vulnerability to hurricanes.
You could bundle side day tours to the Capitol. A new haunted house ride could feature insurrectionists attacking the capitol dressed as elks and Neanderthals. A new magic mountain ride could feature a new insurrectionist/ modern culture war themes. To the tune of Yankee Doodle Governor DeSantis won by 0.4% Riding Trumpy conservatism as a phony He unmasked his state too soon Called science and tolerance too wokey. Ron DeSantis please grow up Ron DeSantis baloney. Mind the election and Gen Z And with corporations be ready. |
I think the law is kind of dumb, but mentioning a spouse, gay or otherwise, is not “classroom instruction.” |
Why isn't Disney responsible for those taxes? Every article I've read seems to say they are, and I am all for big corporations losing their special privileges and tax loopholes. |
| Do you all remember when Disney tried to make a park in VA and how that went? |
They are responsible for the taxes. This isn’t an instance of special privileges or tax loopholes; this is an instance of a corporation taking on the cost of providing essential services for its theme parks, in return for not needing to go through county approval processes for building permits and whatnot. Disney essentially applies for the permits to RCID, which significantly cuts down on the time it takes to get things approved. In case folks haven’t seen it, the Florida House just approved the bill, so RCID has been dissolved. |
Sure could be. Depends on the context of said instruction. And how you define "classroom instruction." |

From a CNBC article:
“ Florida law dictates that special districts created by the legislature can only be dissolved with a majority vote of the district’s landowners. For Reedy Creek, that’s the Walt Disney Company.” So it would seem that what Florida is trying to do is not actually legal. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/21/florida-set-to-dissolve-disneys-reedy-creek-special-district.html |
