I hadn’t realized that this is the same Glen Gilzean involved here.

Anyway, makes me wonder when DeSantis will deploy his private army to lock down Disney World, and whether Disney will counter this by hiring Eric Prince and whatever Eric’s PMC is called by then.

It looks as if he didn’t learn the lesson from observing what happened when Putin started to scare off smart people

So he’s an unaccountable, authoritarian, dictatorial ruler, who dehumanises his enemies whether political or ideological, implements vendettas against any and all who thwart him, bases his policies on religion, militarism, racism, xenophobia, valorisation of “traditional values” (as he defines them) and on stoking fear of a nebulous but omnipresent Other with an ever increasing definition and the claim that this Other is an existential threat which does not just allow for, but demands not just its suppression but its elimination.

That’s a bit of a mouthful. If only there was some shorter word which sums that all up.

“Glenton Gilzean, the district’s new administrator who is African American and a former head of the Central Florida Urban League, called such initiatives “illegal and simply un-American.” Gilzean has been a fellow or member at two conservative institutions, the James Madison Institute and the American Enterprise Institute Leadership Network, as well as a DeSantis appointee to the Florida Commission on Ethics.

“Our district will no longer participate in any attempt to divide us by race or advance the notion that we are not created equal,” Gilzean said in a statement. “As the former head of the Central Florida Urban League, a civil rights organization, I can say definitively that our community thrives only when we work together despite our differences.”“

That really was part of it! Only when I said it out loud did it make sense!
