The Tragic Kingdom

For The Federalist, Christopher Rufo writes that the Disney Corp. has a long history of pedophile employees being caught in stings and arrested. It makes sense that people with sexual feelings for children will seek employment where children are sure to be present, places like theme parks, the parks' lodgings, and cruise ships of lines catering to families - Disney, Carneval. 

Rufo names names and alleges company coverups. That history makes the company's current opposition to Florida's ban on sex ed in grades K-3 look especially suspect. 

I think it likely Disney will discover it has alienated a substantial bloc of customers. A former colleague who worked at Disneyland as a college student called it "the tragic kingdom." Echoing a phrase I wish I'd coined, "get woke, go broke."
