DeSantis also proposed renaming the area the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and establishing a new board of supervisors to oversee it.

Florida lawmakers have objected to the new agreement, vowing to find a legal way to repeal or void it.

"All agreements signed between Disney and the District were appropriate, and were discussed and approved in open, noticed public forums in compliance with Florida's Government in the Sunshine law," The Walt Disney World Resort said in a statement.

The Florida Legislature established it so that Disney could build the infrastructure for Walt Disney World at no cost to Florida taxpayers.

Quick Glance: Bill stifles diverse opinions, undermining free speech | Commentary

A law professor at Florida A&M University speaks out against HB 931, a bill that would tighten regulations on the diversity of speakers at state colleges and universities.

The bill's sponsors have stated unequivocally that it is aimed at diversity and inclusion statements.

Only those who support non-egalitarian thought control appear to believe that such methods are necessary — even if such actions are "un-American."

Tallahassee, if you don't like thought, don't ban it; instead, debate it.
