Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill into law, and the Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) immediately issued a statement vowing to have the bill struck down.
What Happened: The legislation, House Bill 1557, is officially called the “Parental Rights in Education” bill and prohibits teaching classes related to gender identity or sexual orientation for students in kindergarten through third grade. The bill takes effect July 1 and will enable parents to sue school districts that violate the new law.
