DeSantis-Backed Board Ends Disney’s ‘Illegal And Simply Un-American’ DEI Programs

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis‘ handpicked board on the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) announced this week that it has ended all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

District Administrator Glenton Gilzean announced the abolition of the programs that were adopted by the former Reedy Creek Improvement District that “discriminated against Americans based on gender and race, costing taxpayers millions of dollars,” according to the CFTOD.

The district’s DEI committee “will be dissolved and any DEI job duties will be eliminated,” the statement said, adding that staff “will also no longer be permitted to use any staff time to pursue DEI initiatives.”

Gilzean said in a statement that the old district’s DEI initiatives “were illegal and simply un-American.”

“Our district will no longer participate in any attempt to divide us by race or advance the notion that we are not created equal,” he added. “As the former head of the Central Florida Urban League, a civil rights organization, I can say definitively that our community thrives only when we work together despite our differences.”
