[RedState] Disney is facing a major civil rights lawsuit over claims that it has discriminated against various racial, sexual, and religious groups.America First Legal (AFL) announced this week it was filing a claim against the Walt Disney Company for violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 through a variety of illegal and discriminatory practices.
The organization announced in a press release:
The law prohibits Disney from using race, color, religion, sex, or national origin merely as a motivating factor for hiring, training, or promotions. But a document on Disney’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” website strongly suggests that race, color, religion, sex, or national origin are often the only motivating factor in Disney’s hiring, training, and promotion decisions and that the company is intentionally discriminating against white American men, Christians, and Jews simply because of their race, sex, religion, and citizenship.
The lawsuit will cite numerous examples of Disney's discriminatory practices, including its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program which requires 50 percent of many jobs must be filled by individuals from supposedly "underrepresented groups."
