Disney Faces Lawsuit Alleging Discrimination Against White Men and Religious Groups
A group of former Trump administration officials, led by America First Legal, has filed a lawsuit against Disney, claiming its DEI policies violate civil rights laws.
- The lawsuit accuses Disney of discriminating against white American men, Christians, and Jews through its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts.
- America First Legal claims Disney's DEI policies amount to illegal discrimination by promoting hiring and promotion of underrepresented groups, violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
- Elon Musk and other high-profile figures have criticized Disney's DEI policies, with Musk offering to fund legal battles against the company.
- The lawsuit cites internal Disney documents, including a memo on 'Inclusion Standards', as evidence of discriminatory practices.
- Disney has not yet responded to the lawsuit, which aims to challenge the company's 'woke' casting and leadership decisions.
