Disney shareholder tells CEO to stop mousing around, wasting money on ‘political crusades’

Plenty of Disney shareholders and employees alike are unhappy with the company’s decision to embark on a “woke” crusade against Florida over its Parental Rights in Education bill.

One shareholder, economist and entrepreneur Ray Keating, told Fox Business Network that he’d like Disney CEO Bob Chapek to stop wasting his money.

“Here’s a suggestion for Disney CEO Bob Chapek: Get back to business — that is, excellence in storytelling — and stop wasting shareholders’ money on political crusades that have nothing to do with Disney’s business. We all have the right to have our voices heard on issues, but not on the shareholders’ dime,” he said.

Thanks to Chapek’s decision to involve the company in Florida’s conservative politics, and thanks also to undercover footage showing other Disney execs bragging about indoctrinating children in LGBT ideology, Disney is bleeding conservative customers, meaning it’s bleeding money.

According to Keating, Disney should have known better.

“[I]t seems like common sense to understand that it will not turn out well if the executives of a company decide to engage on political issues that have nothing to do with the company’s business,” he wrote recently for an economics-themed blog he runs.

“[G]etting involved in a hot political topic that has nothing to do with a firm’s business simply because a group of activists pressures executives to do so – as is the case with Disney’s current public/political woes – not only threatens to toss the company into a political maelstrom, but it is fundamentally wrong.”

Keating further accused Disney of essentially stealing his money.

“Company executives who use company resources, that is, shareholder resources, to engage in politics, including so-called corporate social responsibility adventures, are, in effect, guilty of stealing from the company’s owners,” he argued.

Disney has also, he maintained, gone to war against its own employees — its own conservative employees, that is.

He noted in another blog post that said employees recently penned an open letter that was completely ignored by the establishment press.

“As employees of the Walt Disney Company, we believe in the dignity of all people. This is why we do what we do. We write stories. We make costumes. We act in parades. We run cruises. We stream movies. We make magic. We do this because our work contributes to a fountain of wonder that inspires joy, awe, and delight in guests and audiences of all ages. We are proud employees of the Walt Disney Company,” the employees wrote.

“However, over the last few years, one group of cast members has become invisible within the company. The Walt Disney Company has come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive. We watch quietly as our beliefs come under attack from our own employer, and we frequently see those who share our opinions condemned as villains by our own leadership.”

Included among the dissenters inside Disney are even some gay employees like Gary Lucia, who’s gone viral for a Substack post he wrote in defense of the Parental Rights in Education bill.

“As a gay man and employee of Disney, I support the Parental Rights in Education Act and feel the need to go on record that I do NOT agree with the Disney ‘LGBTQ+’ leaders and groups that purport to speak on my behalf,” he wrote.

“I also feel the need at this time to make a statement that I do NOT consider myself a member of your ‘LGBTQ+ Community’ and I object to any assumption that I am included. I REJECT this ‘community’ and refuse to participate with or be subjected to any of its declarations.”

  1. REJECT ALL DISNEY MEDIA AND PRODUCTS !!! This is a Demonic agenda, if they know it or not. Which it is proven they do know.

  2. Crush Disney! Hit the A-hole in the pocketbook! The only thing these idiots understand! When the stock is worthless maybe they will get the message, but probably not!

  4. Sorry, Walt. It was a good run for a while.
    Glad you’re not here to see the collaspe.

  5. Sold my Disney stock. Let it sink down the sewer. Bought Twitter now that Elon Musk is majority stock holder. If they think streaming in countries that will behead or stone to death people who watch their woke programs is going to make them money, they are beyond stupid.

  6. Disney is done as I’ve posted before. There is no walking this back. I hope Keating looses his ass. Chapek didn’t steal your money. It got flushed down a WOKE sht hole. Begging Mickey Mouses’ boss to reverse course of this sinking ship isn’t going to save it.

  8. SO GLAD to see that the BOYCOTT is working and people are waking up to the FREAKS that are trying to INDOCTRINATE Children at Disney !
    MONEY TALKS ! KEEP BOYCOTTING DISNEY and ALL companies associated to it, as well as ALL PRODUCTS that Disney has a monetary interest in ! DO some homework, find out WHAT companies are working with Disney and BOYCOTT THEM AS WELL !! Disney is NOT too big to bring down……….They just THINK they are !! REMEMBER………..It’s YOUR money and it’s YOUR Kids……..WE have the power to STOP this INSANITY !!

    SAY IT LOUD. SAY IT OFTEN.

    Disney is managed by weak, gutless immoral Woke management who are on the payroll of the NWO oligarchs.

  11. As someone told me many years ago when I questioned the re-design of a product that had received a small number of complaints. For every one complaint he received there are hundreds that will just never buy again without ever telling them why. I think Disney is in for a major wake-up call!

  12. Sell your Disney stock now. Like many of us who patronized DISNEY, the stock is not coming back. Sell now before it goes cheaper. It’s over. Pedophilia, on does not ever recover from.

  14. I’ve been reading complaints about Disney for decades! What news is this retarded disney heiress and CEO reading? Where are all the pro prepubescent trans supporting parents? Answer: So rare they can’t be measured. Though unprecedentedly rare, 100% Democrat. 100% Homosexual. 100% Child Abuse.

  15. Disney has been penetrated by satanic communist child rapists for decades! Yes! Promoting sexual subliminal behavioral experimentation thru content.

  16. The deviates at Disney are trying to pervert our children but now that parents know, Disney will have to look for unattended children at playgrounds like the rest of the pedophiles!

  17. Maybe if ENOUGH SHAREHOLDERS form an ALLIANCE they can REMOVE the “wokesters” and install LEADERS who adhere to the FAMILY VALUES that disney once thrived upon!

    1. I don’t think so. It’s over. Who will allow their children to play on a playground with a reformed pedophiliac as monitor? Yeah, sure you betcha.
