Disney's 'woke' anti-racism manifesto disappears from website following backlash

Disney appears to have scrapped plans to force staff to undergo anti-racism training — at least for now — after a ‘woke’ manifesto that went viral disappeared from its website.

The webpage containing a number of race-related training documents vanished from Disney’s company intranet this week, with the url now displaying a “pardon our pixie dust” error message, the New York Post reported.

“This is a major victory in the war against ‘woke capital,’” tweeted journalist Chris Rufo, who first reported on the existence of the controversial staff training materials, noting a “significant backlash from the public”.

“Disney was peddling the most toxic elements of critical race theory — and my reporting led to immediate changes within the company,” he said.

The materials Disney urged staff to read and comply with, described by some as ‘woke’, included a document titled “Allyship for Race Consciousness,” the Daily Mail reported.
