Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has filed a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, alleging that he has violated their First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Disney claims that DeSantis is punishing the company for speaking out against his "Don't Say Gay" law, which forbids public schools from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity prior to fourth grade. Although DeSantis refers to himself as a champion of freedom, his actions against Disney are being criticized as targeted government retaliation. Republicans, including GOP front-runner Donald Trump and presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, have spoken out against DeSantis's crusade, which includes attempting to strip Disney of its self-governing status and even suggesting the construction of a prison near the theme park. The lawsuit against DeSantis will put his stance on freedom and what it requires to the test of constitutional law, with legal experts suggesting that his position will shatter under scrutiny.
