The Washington Times editorial board notes a welcome change in corporate America.
Hopeful signs abound for the year ahead. Large corporations are abandoning thinly veiled racism disguised as diversity, equity and inclusion.
Disney, the once family-friendly entertainment company, has been one of the worst offenders. Its recent films have been filled with subversive messages targeted at children.

“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline,” the company acknowledged in a statement to Variety. The streaming show is scheduled to air next month.
