Disney offended by God? Why Indeed...?!
Publisher’s note: While I don’t know if this was intentional or not, even though I believe it has to be. After all, websites are set up with whatever parameters the owner chooses and approves.
Regardless, it is very consistent with Disney’s increasing trend towards becoming less than traditional and family friendly over the last twenty years or so. It has certainly kept me away from the gates of the ‘Magic Kingdom.’
As an observer of world events, I recognize the thought process that goes into any company’s decision to appease specific groups, because business is business. However, I will never understand why any company would chance alienating a much larger group during said appeasement in the name of political correctness.
Fox News: It turns out you can give thanks for a lot of different folks on the Disney Channel website – but you can’t thank God.
I received a Facebook message on Sunday from Julie Anderson, of Angier, North Carolina, a town located about 30 miles from Raleigh. Julie was writing to tell me about her daughter, Lilly.
Lilly celebrated her 10th birthday on Sunday. After church and a delicious lunch at the Golden Corral, the Andersons headed home – and Lilly made a beeline for the computer.
I do wonder what sort of message the Disney Channel is sending when they tell children that mentioning God in public is bad manners.
