includes Bridget Ziegler, a conservative education activist and co-founder of the right-wing group Moms for Liberty; Ron Peri, chairman of the Gathering USA, a Christian ministry; and three attorneys, including the president of the Federalist Society’s Orlando chapter.
The appointees — whom Foglesong likened to appointees to airport authorities or a public works department — don't have say over Disney's products.
