Top Florida lawmaker claims Disney could run afoul of ‘anti-woke’ law

State Rep. Bryan Ávila, a top leader of the Florida House, is claiming that Disney employees’ diversity training program includes exercises where employees complete a “white privilege checklist,” which could put the company in violation of a new law he’s sponsoring.

Ávila’s office did not respond Wednesday when asked for the source of his information, but it appears to come from a conservative magazine that obtained a document and information purportedly from Disney employees in May.

Disney has previously said elements of its employee diversity, equity and inclusion program were taken out of context. Representatives for Walt Disney World did not respond when reached for comment.
