What We Know About the DeSantis-Disney Rift
Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and state lawmakers have revoked a 55-year-old arrangement that gave Disney a special tax status and allowed it to essentially self-govern its 25,000-acre Disney World complex.
The loss of that designation is the latest development in an ongoing battle between Mr. DeSantis and the state’s largest private employer over a recently passed education bill.
How did the rift get to that point? Here is some background. What Are Mr. DeSantis and Disney Fighting Over? In March, the governor signed a bill that prohibits classroom instruction and discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in certain elementary school classrooms.
The “Parental Rights in Education” law, often referred to by critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, has led to debate around the nation over the impact that law and others like it could have on schoolchildren.
