Diversity, equity and inclusion programs were abolished Tuesday from Walt Disney World’s governing district, now controlled by appointees of Gov. Ron DeSantis, in an echo of the Florida governor’s agenda which has championed curtailing such programs in higher education and elsewhere.

Yeah because who wants black kids to feel welcome at Disney World? /s

Serious answer?

Certainly not the frozen head of Walt Disney.

he's a corpsicle? seem he'd have a higher chance of survival as an animated cartoon

DeSantis found the one Black person willing to put up with his endless string of crap.

Glenton Gilzean, the district's new administrator who is African American and a former head of the Central Florida Urban League, called such initiatives “illegal and simply un-American." Gilzean has been a fellow or member at two conservative institutions, the James Madison Institute and the American Enterprise Institute Leadership Network, as well as a DeSantis appointee to the Florida Commission on Ethics.
