It’s not the bill, it’s the employees. Doesn’t know how to run Disney.

WOW ! I guess it’s better a week later than never !

Parents appreciate Parental Rights Bill.Don't want some looney teacher testing our kids for sexual preferences.Many teachers are weirdos,u know equality opportunity,for the weird 2.Bob needs to stay out of this battle, or shareholders will act GovRonDeSantis jsolomonReports

I can’t believe he is pro sexual awareness public schooling for 5 year olds and he is bringing his shareholders along for the ride. Read the legislation.

Companies that allow the inmates to run the asylum get what they deserve: dysfunction. It will never end. Chapek should have invited the employees upset that DIS did not oppose the FL bill to seek employment elsewhere. DIS is a business, not a PAC. This is a leadership failure.

This issue is just completely ridiculous. If CEO Bob Chapek wants to mend a fence with employees, he should start by reading the bill to learn whats in it. Then he should have a meeting with the Employees and let them know the bill has nothing to do with saying Gay.

Hope he does not make decisions this way

So he runs a company of creatives that has an abundant representation of LGTBTQIA and he forgot to take a stance against this dastardly bill! 😅 ok !!!

What is their to mend? Absolutely nothing…clearly he has not read the bill

No they should actually shut their corporate pie hole.

Stick to making entertainment. A corporation concerns should be its products, employees and shareholders. The merger of corporations with politics is frightening. Canceled my Disney subscription.

the magic is gone; time to go home.

This guy is a total amateur … Seriously, a nutless monkey could do a better job. The Disney brand is eroding. Sad.

Parents have a right to decide when/how their kids are taught sex education, NOT the school system.

Guess that’s why Donald Duck runs around with no pants on

Is he a pedophile? Because that's the only explanation for being so interested in teaching 5 yo about sex. I'll never take my children 1000 km near this guy. That corporation is decadent and their prices are a theft anyway.

You made a mistake. You as CEO.

Just after the nick of time.

I nominate Bob “Mephistopheles” Chapel as the Chairman of the Board at TheUnholyTrinity - the evil alliance of academia, the entertainment industry, and “woke” corporate America (especially stupid HR departments and censorious social media companies like Twitter!!)

Just make stupid kids stuff and stay tfo of it

'Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.'

The outraged people didn't read the bill...Kids K-3...parents should be in control of that conversation not schools. And it also protects a Bible thumper teachers talking noise against gay parents as well in the classroom but the media twist stuff. Go find outrage elsewhere.

Did they take a stance against China’s treatment of the Uyghurs?

🤦‍♂️

Aka… Disney and desantis came up with this fake talking point after they had a meeting, since then they have putting on this fake act of them “hating each other” all of a sudden.
