We used to be a Disney+ family, and happily so. My daughter learned a lot from watching her beloved Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Both kids enjoyed the classics from ‘The Little Mermaid’ to ‘Cinderella.’ I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen ‘Moana,’ a family favorite.
However, last year we decided to break up with Disney+. So while we were sad to say goodbye to the Star Wars shows and Marvel spin-offs, we were happy to say farewell to the woke indoctrination that was ruining such a great brand and threatening to seep into the minds of our unsuspecting kids.
Almost a year later, I see that not much has changed, with video clips going viral from an episode of the Disney reboot of the ‘Proud Family – Louder and Prouder.’ So what fresh nonsense is Disney pushing now? Critical Race Theory (CRT) and race reparations.

It’s no Jack Kerouac
The video in question comes from an episode of the show that deals specifically with an explanation of the holiday Juneteenth. In it, the teenage characters put on a presentation for the school with an all too familiar narrative on slavery.
In a terrible attempt to emulate the beatnik poets of the 1940s and 50s, the kids spout off spoken word lyrics such as “This country was built on slavery which means slaves built this country.”
Blatantly disregarding actual history in which plenty of nonslaves participated in the construction of the United States, the song also doesn’t mention who originally sold the said slaves into the hands of the awful white man and ushered them onto their ships to traverse the ocean from Africa and the Americas — but we don’t want to highlight all of history, just cherry pick certain parts, right Disney?
The kids go on to boldly boast that “the descendants of slaves continue to build it.”
Again, blatantly disregarding the rest of us no-descendants of slaves who contribute to the growth and prosperity of this nation. Not shocked yet? Well, the most magical part of the animated performance is yet to come.
This Disney clip is pure critical race theory, including the insane conspiracy theory that Lincoln did not free the slaves.pic.twitter.com/kLqPUU34Mn

Something for Nothing
Disney goes all in with the next few lines of what would no doubt be considered a masterpiece by the great Beat poet Allen Ginsberg:“And we the descendants of slaves in America have earned reparations for their suffering. And continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged in a systemic prejudice racism and white supremacy. That America was founded with and still has not atoned for.”
Wow, bravo, Disney, you’ve outdone yourself.
Unfortunately, the concept of ‘earning’ seems lost on these teenagers; perhaps their animated teacher could’ve discussed how you must produce something of value to earn something in return in between preaching the tenets of Critical Race Theory.
‘But we should be happy that CRT isn’t in our actual schools,’ according to the left-wing pundits, it’s just in these silly animated schools our kids watch when they come home. Totally no indoctrination, right? Just more ‘crazy right wing’ conspiracies, right?
I’m also still waiting for the reparations camp to lay out exactly when, if ever, those of us who never owned slaves and had descendants who weren’t slave owners will have sufficiently atoned for a sin we didn’t commit.
Maybe that’s coming up in the next season, but I doubt it. Instead, the skit included imagery from the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, with a young man holding up his hands with the words “Hands up, Don’t shoot.”
Again, facts aren’t necessary for Disney, given that this claim that this phrase was said was a proven lie.

The Creator
So who is the brainchild behind this terrible cartoon? None other than Latoya Raveneau, who, if you don’t recall, was the outspoken ‘biromantic asexual’ who caught some Twitter fame over her remarks at the poorly executed ‘Reimagine Tomorrow’ Disney training.
In a leaked video Ms. Raveneau openly admits that she has a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” to insert LGBTQ+ themes into her work.
“I was just wherever I could adding queerness,” as she said.
