The ongoing clash between DeSantis and Disney over diversity and 'wokeness'.

The ongoing dispute between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Disney World highlights the intensifying culture wars in America. DeSantis, positioning himself as an extreme culture warrior, has clashed with Disney over discriminatory legislation, while Disney's top boss, Bob Iger, has been outspoken in his opposition to such laws. The conflict also highlights Disney's unlikely role as a force in gay rights, having changed its policy in 2007 to allow same-sex couples to participate in its Fairy Tale Wedding program. The dispute has led to speculation that Disney may relocate to North Carolina, where Democrats have proposed a bill to encourage family parks to expand or relocate.
