It looks like a new lawsuit from Disney is upping the ante in the company’s feud with Governor DeSantis. It alleges a “targeted campaign of government retaliation” undertaken by Mr. DeSantis after the company spoke up against a Florida law on what young children learn about sex at school. We’re a newspaper, not a lawyer, but our advice would be for Mr. DeSantis to go back and study the showdown between Mayor Giuliani and the Brooklyn Museum.
