   Woke corporate CEOs seem to think they know better than voters what’s best   
   for the country. These titans are throwing their companies’ clout and cash   
   behind activists pushing gender-fluidity lessons for kindergarteners and   
   other extreme political causes.   
      
   Expect this corporate activism to backfire. Corporations should be serving   
   their customers, not trying to override the democratic process, like   
   thousand-pound gorillas undoing what the electorate — including their own   
   customers — wants.   
      
   Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek declared his opposition Friday to a   
   Florida state bill that bans instruction for children in grades K-3 about   
   choosing their sexual orientation. The bill also bars teachers from   
   coaching children behind their parents’ backs on the issue.   
      
   Vowing to defend the “basic human rights” of the LGBTQ+ community, Chapek   
   pledged $5 million to the Human Rights Campaign. Even that whopping amount   
   of protection money wasn’t sufficient.   
      
   The next night, at its annual Hollywood-studded gala, HRC removed Disney’s   
   name from the corporate sponsors list. HRC’s interim president, Joni   
   Madison, spelled out the extortion: Disney’s money won’t be accepted until   
   the company “puts real muscle” behind killing the Florida bill and others   
   like it.   
      
   That’s what Hollywood thinks is good for America. But Florida voters, who   
   elected the state’s lawmakers and Gov. Ron DeSantis, disagree.   
      
   DeSantis says he won’t back down on his commitment to “parental rights”   
   under pressure from “woke corporations.”   
      
   Something similar is happening in Texas, where 65 corporations — including   
   IBM, Capital One and Apple — signed a letter in the Dallas Morning News   
   written by HRC opposing Gov. Greg Abbott’s investigation of instances   
   where young children are being treated for transitioning. Abbott is   
   concerned that youngsters and their parents may be misled into treatments   
   that prove irreversible later.   
      
   It’s complicated, so why not let Texans’ elected leaders examine the   
   facts? Who elected HRC to anything?   
      
   Disney’s chairman, Peter Rice, says the company’s standing up for “human   
   rights.” Nonsense. Nothing in the Florida bill endangers human rights or   
   permits disparaging anyone. Only parental rights are at stake. We should   
   all show respect and support for the small number of children — less than   
   half a percent — who actually have gender dysphoria.   
      
   The bill bans indoctrinating kids ages 4 to 7 on becoming transgender.   
      
   HRC wants that indoctrination. It proposes a K-3 lesson plan around the   
   book “Julian Is a Mermaid.” The guide says teachers should tell kids they   
   can choose their gender and their pronouns, regardless of their bodies or   
   the clothes their parents give them to wear. Teachers should also reassure   
   them they can be different in school from what their families expect at   
   home.   
      
   Another K-3 lesson plan featuring the book “I Am Jazz” tells teachers to   
   say that “gender is a spectrum, not a binary.”   
      
   Most parents oppose children being force-fed these messages.   
      
   Disney boasts being in the forefront of the LGBTQ+ movement, offering gay   
   characters on the screen and LGBTQ-themed merchandise. In July, Disney   
   introduced its first nonbinary character, Raine Whispers, on the show “The   
   Owl House,” joining two gay characters, Luz and Amity. Raine Whispers is   
   played by an actor who identifies as nonbinary, transgender and queer.   
      
   That’s fine. Outside of school, parents can control what their children   
   watch and avoid Disney products, if they choose.   
      
   But in school, parents have to set limits. That’s what Disney overlooks.   
      
   What we’re witnessing — misinformed corporate chieftains acceding to the   
   left without getting the facts — is a rerun of last year’s Georgia “voting   
   rights” fiasco.   
      
   In April, giant companies including Coca-Cola and Major League Baseball   
   announced a boycott of the state of Georgia, repeating Democratic claims   
   that a newly passed voting law was racist.   
      
   Actually, the Georgia law reinstated longstanding safeguards put aside   
   during COVID, including voter ID. The corporate executives protested that   
   some 200,000 Georgians lacked a driver’s license. True, but the law allows   
   for many other forms of ID, including a Social Security number, utility   
   bill or paycheck.   
      
   Reading the law before calling a boycott would have helped.   
      
   Now woke politicians pushing extreme agendas like transgender   
   indoctrination will face opposition from enraged parents in the midterm   
   elections. Corporations intimidated into tagging along with these pols   
   should beware: These parents can vote with their wallets too.
