.SenRickScott said he was disappointed Disney weighed in on Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act and sparked a monthslong battle between the entertainment mogul and GovRonDeSantis. Scott said the company should have taken a different approach.
Disney joined the fight against the bill in March 2022, seeking to repeal Florida's parental rights law. The bill prioritized parental education rights and banned classrooms from teaching about gender identity and sexual orientation from kindergarten through third grade at the time.Scott said he thinks the company should have taken a different approach.
DeSantis and Disney are currently locked in a lawsuit battle. DeSantis is working tirelessly to strip the company of its autonomy over the Reedy Creek Improvement District, where its theme park is in Florida. In April, Disney sued DeSantis arguing that the Florida governor violated the company's First Amendment rights.
“I think we’ve got to figure out a way forward here to bring everybody back to the table,” Scott said, “so we can continue to grow tourism, grow jobs, you know, give opportunities for people.”
