ROB SCHNEIDER: Go woke, go broke isn't a slogan — it's becoming Hollywood’s reality

Major Hollywood studios are racking up billions in debt as audiences turn away from ideological messaging in favor of entertainment. They have no one but themselves to blame.

If we want to save the arts, we must return to the universal. We have to remember that we’re meant to be entertainers, not high priests of a new religion that nobody asked for. Rob Schneider is an actor and comedian who appeared on ‘Saturday Night Live’ from 1990-94 before going on to star in several movies. He is the author of a recent book, "You Can Do It!: Speak Your Mind, America."

This has happened so often in Hollywood that it’s become the norm. A storyline is upended to promote the ideological obsessions of the present. We’ve had a Black Cleopatra, a lesbian kiss in the "Toy Story" spin-off "Lightyear," empathetic, home-loving orcs in Middle Earth, and a robot in an animated series of "Transformers" declaring its pronouns as ‘they/them,’ as though mechanized killing machines are sensitive about their gender identities.
