DeSantis has signed into law the bill dissolving Disney's special status as an act of revenge for not publicly supporting the "Don't Say Gay" law.

I'm not going to come to Disney's defense on this one because fuck corporations and it's not like this will have that big an impact on their bottom line in the long-term anyway, but this will increase the tax burden on families in the area by about $2200 per household. Republican voters may be less than happy about that.
Man you missed the opportunity to say:

'Go anti-woke, go broke'

I'm sure he's done the maths that a few thousand angry Disney county residents are worth a few hundred thousand other anti-woke Floridians.

And besides, like many any other state bigwigs, he doesn't need to give a shit if he can just rig elections.

Poor babies, having to suffer the backlash of their knee-jerk hate-based policy demands. Fuck them, every last one of 'em.
Problem is, the county around Disney is one of the heavily blue districts in Florida, so dumping a higher tax burden on "dem libruls" is just a bonus item for the people DeSantis is pandering to.

At any rate, even assuming that this law survives a court challenge (the state legislature may not actually have had the power to revoke Disney's status), DeSantis made certain that they law wouldn't take effect until AFTER the next major election cycle in Florida. Why worry about the consequences when you can just rig elections and maintain power that way?

The.... law you're talking was already there. This DeSantis law does nothing to help. It was not needed and reinforces nothing

DeSantis banned a math book about two cartoon characters helping another over a wobbly bridge. Because, in Florida, you can't teach social and emotional well-being... like helping others. That what this new law is all about

Edit: I don't know what you think those words in the law mean, but DeSantis has a different interpretation than you or I would

So, with this words you pointed out, if I as a teacher pointed out that someone has two dads is that illegal? What if I pointed out if someone had a mum and dad?
So why the outrage on a law that does nothing? The video you linked to in the other thread was pretty biased, they didn't even mention that common core isn't allowed, which is probably why most of the math books were banned, they just skip over that big bullet point. And Florida hasn't stated why the books were banned so it's complete speculation. Also DeSantis didn't ban anything himself unless he's part of the DOE now. So your statement is partly false and completely unsubstantiated.

Here's some actual examples of some things that caused the bannings. All of these things really don't belong in math so I don't have any problem with them being banned.


Yeah but these days you aren't allowed to take the kid's word on it, you have to sex them just in case Bobby has an innie and Susie has an outie. Your "simpler time" sucked for a lot of people


We have to discuss the word grooming because moronic conservatives think it's classroom instruction and grooming if a gay teacher mentions their spouse and that, instead of answering a kid's question, should refer them to their parents for no particular reason. Like straight up "Gary's not afraid to mention he's gay if kids ask, therefore he clearly wants to buttfuck his students. Here's his school district so you can try and fire him"

They straight up *cannot* talk about their spouse or Timmy having two dads. That shit is explicitly used as an example of the only acceptable response being "ask your parents". It like conservatives want the state to homeschool their kids
What say 7 year old had a bad time in my "simpler time".

You're jumping to all these conclusions that aren't true. Link to any official saying a gay teacher can be disciplined for saying he has a husband.

I mean, kid didn't want to do "boy" stuff, had to anyway, based purely on societal gender markers that you seem to pretend is "sex". See, you just don't have a concept that it sucked for some other people because it didn't happen to you or anybody you didn't personally know

Counts as "classroom instruction"

Yeah, I know

That's why I'm asking you.

You keep flip-flopping between definition of gender and sex, picking and choosing when one is important and one isnt.

The last few of your quote, you are advocating for unisex bathrooms. But I think you just f'ed up in your flip-flops
I don't believe I've flip-flopped anything. I also don't think I expressly advocated for unisex bathrooms, though I would in the sense that bathrooms should be one person at a time rooms rather than the open air group settings that they are.

We separate toilets, sports, etc by sex to give women places where they are safe from men, who would hurt them otherwise. It's by sex because sex, not gender, is what makes men bigger, stronger, and sexually aggressive.

Do you think hormones make men bigger and stronger?
I'm deliberately not putting sexual aggressive there. Women are sexually aggressive.

But they don't change gender, because that's immutable?
I think he's trying to say even if you change genitalia, you're still your original sex.

Tstorms wording here makes me rethink flip flop and go to not being able to express their opinions on this clearly

They don't change gender because that's not what they are trying to change. They are trying to change sex to match their gender.

You all continue asking simple questions you know the answer to, hoping desperately that I'll say something inconsistent.

I'm trying to take you at your word that you arent flip-flopping

If this is true, you have missed a 'not' somewhere. Or had one too many. Maybe swap a gender for sex or vice versa.

If not,, I'll go back to my original position of you flip flopping

Did... you even open the article?

The first photo... can you tell me what that says?

Also, the second photo proves my point was true

Edit: Their proof for banning is even dumber than I could imagine. Thanks for bringing me this
