States—A Florida government panel allied with Gov. Ron DeSantis has filed a countersuit against Disney on Monday, May 1, adding another layer to the escalating legal battle between the conservative governor and the entertainment giant.
Disney, a major employer in the southern state with its Orlando-based Walt Disney World theme park, has been under increasing legal sanction by the governor after it spoke out last year against a DeSantis-backed education bill concerning LGBTQ youth.
DeSantis, a rising conservative star with presidential ambitions, called out the “woke” corporation as part of his battle with institutions he deems too progressive.
