The feud between the Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis boiled anew, with the lawmaker accusing the entertainment giant of going too far in its pledge to work for the overturn of a controversial new state law.
What Happened: The legislation, House Bill 1557, is officially called the “Parental Rights in Education” bill but has become branded "Don't Say Gay" by its opponents. The legislation prohibits teaching classes related to gender identity or sexual orientation for students in kindergarten through third grade. DeSantis signed the bill on Monday, and the new law takes effect July 1.
