Kiss Mickey Mouse & Child Innocence Goodbye

Something no little kid anywhere would like to imagine hearing: Mickey Mouse crying heartbroken tears. A Blessing indeed that Mickey’s genius creator Walt Disney is not here to hear it. "Disney parks are axing gendered language such as "boys and girls" in their park greetings to promote gender inclusivity, according to video of a company executive. (Fox News, March 30, 2022)

"We’ve provided training for all of our cast members in relationship to that. So now they know it's ‘Hello, everyone,’ or ‘Hello, friends,'" Disney's diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware was heard saying in a video conference call recorded by City Journal's Christopher Rufo.”

Some would call it “brainwashing” rather than “training”.

“Parkgoers will no longer hear "ladies and gentlemen" and "boys and girls" in park greetings, according to the video. (Fox News) "We want to create that magical moment with our cast members, with our guests," she said. "And we don't want to just assume because someone might be in, our interpretation, may be presenting as female that they may not want to be 'princess.'" “The Walt Disney Company did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment on the matter.”

No need to ponder why. Disney Land was created for boys and girls, as was that lovable childhood character, Mickey Mouse.

“It was reported last year that Walt Disney World in Florida removed its longtime greeting, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls," from its Magic Kingdom fireworks show to promote inclusivity. It was replaced with a greeting saying, "Good evening, dreamers of all ages!” (Fox News)

A “woke” Disney is has become far loonier than its Looney Tunes.

“Disney employees walked off the job last week in protest of a perceived lack of company opposition to a Florida bill that prohibits teachers from providing instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade classrooms.” (Fox News) “Disney CEO Bob Chapek did not take a public position on the bill earlier this year, but then apologized after backlash from the bill’s opponents and vowed Disney would contribute millions of dollars more to LGBTQ causes. “Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill Monday. Disney subsequently released a statement slamming the move.”

How inclusive of Disney!

"Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law," the company said in a statement. (Fox News) “Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that. “We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.”

But what about the boys and girls who love Mickey? What about them? Generations of little kids don’t want "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" in kindergarten through third grade. classroom instruction”, they just want to love and grow up with Mickey. The song “Now we want to say goodbye to all our company”, which drew millions to the Mickey Mouse Club has now become its swan song.

“Now Mouseketeers There's one thing we want you Always to remember Come along and sing our song And join our family M-I-C K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Through the years we'll all Be friends Wherever we may be. M-I-C K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse Forever let us hold our Banner high Now its time to say goodbye To all our company M-I-C Spoken: See you real soon K-E-Y Spoken: Why? because we like you M-O-U-S-E”

Sadly for the small fry Mickey Mouse and friends will never be the same.
