Florida parental rights bill sponsor rejects and returns Disney donations after company protests law
Fox News
A Florida Republican lawmaker who sponsored a controversial parental rights bill that has been publicly opposed by the Disney corporation has announced he is giving back political donations he received from the company.
Harding said that he will be returning $3,126 in political donations associated with Disney.
"As a company whose primary audiences are young children and families, Disney has let us down through its complicity with the false narratives pushed by liberal media, who have repeatedly mischaracterized the content of my legislation," Harding added in a press release. "Some radical elements of our society are embracing an idea that parents are unsuited to be parents and that schools have a primary role in determining when and how young children are exposed to sexual topics. I invite Disney to reconsider its position and join forces with those of us who support parents first."
