Vocal Point-Jeremy Tedesco

Topic: Religious Liberty and Corporations.

America was founded initially for religious liberty, but now even corporations are often undermining our first liberty listed in the Bill of Rights. Here’s an example: As a company, Walt Disney was built on traditional family values. For decades, the whole Walt Disney enterprise, movies and theme parks promoted wholesomeness. But alas not so much these days. Interestingly, because they went so woke in recent times, the previous CEO was sacked and they brought back former CEO Bob Iger. The Alliance Defending Freedom, a religious liberty legal group founded by D. James Kennedy, Bill Bright, James Dobson, and others, wants to see Mr. Iger make good on his promise to have Disney go less woke. Jeremy Tedesco is Senior Counsel for ADF.

  • Ideologically charged business services are bad for everyone, no matter their religious or political views.
  • This is why ADF launched the Viewpoint Diversity Score earlier this year to propose workable solutions through model policies and constructive dialogue to major corporations that are actively undermining free speech, religious freedom, and free markets.
  • Businesses should respect customers, employees, and other stakeholders who hold a wide diversity of viewpoints and perspectives.
