Buckle up for a roller coaster ride, because the feud between Disney's CEO Bob Iger and Florida's Ron DeSantis just got bumpier.
The suit alleges that DeSantis' actions were retaliation for the company publicly opposing the state's"" bill, formally known as the Parental Rights in Education Act, which forbids discussions of gender identity and sexual orientation in school for all grades. "Any action that thwarts those efforts, simply to retaliate for a position the company took, sounds not just anti-business but it sounds anti-Florida," Iger said, pointing to the jobs, tourism, and tax dollars Disney World brings.DeSantis started plotting with Republican lawmakers over a year ago, after Disney's botched response to the Don't Say Gay bill ended with the company saying it would work to repeal the law.
