In his victory speech after winning a second gubernatorial term in
November, Republican Ron DeSantis proclaimed his state of Florida is where
“woke goes to die.” He’s been at war with the ideology since his first
term, taking on some of the most powerful organizations, businesses and
politicians in the country promoting it and trying to spread the woke
virus to our children. He’s most famously been at odds with Disney, which
has increasingly injected woke messaging into its content marketed for
America’s kids.
The liberal media scoffed. No one’s pushing woke. He’s fighting a made-up
enemy.
It’s baloney — and Disney just proved it.
In a sinister cartoon airing on Disney+ called “The Proud Family: Louder
and Prouder,” the characters proclaim, “Slaves built this country, and we
the descendants of slaves in America have earned reparations for their
suffering and continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged
in a systemic prejudice, racism and white supremacy that America was
founded with and still has not atoned for.”
The show is a reboot of a popular show from 20 years ago, right around
when the parents of Disney+’s audience were children themselves. Trying to
tap into their parents’ nostalgia, Disney is using the trust established
by the original brand and squandering it; using animated characters to
promote its version of history through a woke and critical-race-theory
prism.
The characters go on to denigrate President Abraham Lincoln and compare
slavery to modern-day racial controversies. “We had Tubman, Turner,
Frederick D. Then they say Lincoln freed the slaves, but slaves were men
and women and only we can free ourselves. Emancipation is not freedom,”
they sang. “Jim Crow, segregation, redlining, public schools feeding
private prisons where we become slaves again.”
This isn’t education. It’s indoctrination.
Almost everyone can agree that, of course, we should be teaching the next
generation about the evils of slavery and how its existence was part of
American history since before the Founding. The problem is the woke only
want their version of history taught: through the lens of critical race
theory, where whiteness is evil and must be atoned for.
DeSantis recently went to war with another powerful American entity, the
College Board, over its inclusion of critical race theory in an Advanced
Placement course on African-American history. DeSantis’ threats to
withdraw the course from Florida’s curriculum offerings were successful,
and NPR reported last week the company buckled and shifted gears: “In the
official [revised] framework made public, topics such as Black Lives
Matter, slavery reparations and queer theory are no longer subjects to be
taught.”
This is how opponents of wokeness win: by going into battle, guns blazing.
DeSantis knows the winning formula, and his successes are part of why he
was so overwhelmingly re-elected.
DeSantis is using the same playbook in his war against Disney. As the news
broke about this Disney+ show, the governor’s office is simultaneously
taking aim at the entertainment giant’s bottom line.
His office announced, “Florida is dissolving the Corporate Kingdom by
permanently eliminating Disney’s self-governing status, appointing a
state-controlled board accountable to Floridians that can impose taxes on
Disney for infrastructure projects, and ensuring Disney pays its own
debts!”
The woke war against our kids is unrelenting and takes no prisoners.
Conservatives can only win the fight by making its proponents go on
defense, instead of constantly allowing them an offensive advantage. Gov.
DeSantis recognizes this, and his fellow Republicans should be taking
notes.
