    This would include pride flag shirts, right? Because that is no less political than a shirt with a gun on it.

    Time to ban m*n from parks.

      We can also toss in the weirdos like you that can’t which side of the gender line you want to stand on. She or he. Them/they/it/creature from the black lagoon need not apply.

  3. Walt

    The AR statement was spot-on.

      I am for that also, and I am sure Walt Disney would be too. Nothing political what so ever!

      1. JoeBryant

        I am sure Walt just wanted people to drop the outside world at the door and just enjoy the fantasy he created.

        And spend alot of money while they are enjoying themselves of course.

    Same people complaining about political shirts are most likely the same lot that have no problem with some women/teenagers dressing like the are working a corner.

    If this is a true attempt to keep politics out of the park that I’m all for it. I would hate to think it’s just a one sided censorship move aimed at conservatives.

    Political shirts/leggings/hats/attire from both sides of the aisle need to be banned at all disney parks. It ruins the experience and the people wearing the attire are inviting controversy. Disney needs to step up. They also need to stop buying the clothing for the people and just not admit them. People are sponging off of them.

    This should really be called liberals don’t want conservative attire at Disney parks. You shouldn’t be that offended by an opposing ideology this much. Hey whenever I see someone with something Biden related on I don’t cry about it.

    It would be really tough to enforce, and would put a lot of extra work of the shoulders of underpaid CM’s. It wouldn’t be so hard to ban the more extreme ones, but then people would just go more subtle and coded.

    I’d be in favor of banning apparel with overt messages of violence or denigration of any demographic group. But I think that’s as far as you could possibly go without creating more problems than you’d solve.

    I do believe that, with the state of American politics being what it is, it might be time to retire the Hall of Presidents. It’s deteriorated to a thing where people go to cheer their heroes and boo their villains, and that just perpetuates a sense of divisiveness. Since Disneyland has a show just about Abraham Lincoln, maybe they could turn the HoP into a show just about George Washington. A lot of his writings have been preserved, so there’s plenty of fodder for an AA Washington’s speech. The rest of the show could give background about the Revolution and its aftermath, and the challenges he faced as the first person to fill the office.

    1. Rox

      They toppled statues of Lincoln in some places so even that’s not a safe focus. Washington owned slaves so forget that too. I don’t even go to HoP anymore because the disrespect from both sides just ruins the experience. People don’t know how to act any more.

    No – never
