"Miramax is now planning on releasing its newest film, "Buffalo Soldiers" which purports to be a satire depicting the U.S. military as a criminal enterprise."

The movie is almost 2 years old. It was held from release "purportedly" in respect to the 9/11 sentiment.

They ask why we are so hated abroad while they produce this anti-American propaganda.

You yourself said the key word, satire. Did you ever see Catch 22? Apocolypse Now? The satirical movies poking fun at the military or even the President are common place. Do you get uptight every time one of these movies is released or are you uptight because it is Miramax releasing it?

"This, and other policies of Walt Disney Co. are undoing the work of Walt Disney in creating a haven for the entire family."

Walt Disney Pictures still is a haven for families. Miramax is known to do arthouse fare. Assuming you are an adult, you should know that and chose your movies accordingly.

"From Mickey Mouse and "Snow White" Disney has decended to political propaganda and pure filth."

Since the movie was not released at the time of your post (ergo you have not seen it), I must assume you are just blindly following Matt Drudge's lead.

"Can this be in the long-range interests of Disney stockholders?"

Miramax is known to be a profitable division within the Walt Disney Company. As a stockholder I guess that means the answer is yes.

"Does anyone really trust Disney enough to put its stock into their children's college fund?"

My opinion is once again yes, definitly. It seems you have an additional agenda as to what's good for your kid's college fund. It must be, in your eyes, squeaky clean and 100% family friendly. You must have a VERY hard time finding stocks then. Certainly you have no entertainment stocks in your portfolio, as Disney is the most family friendly of the lot.
