Governor Sarah Sanders banned the use of Latinx in the Arkansas government on her first day in office with an executive order because it is very insensitive.
She also banned critical race theory from the state as well.
Via Yahoo News:
Within hours of being sworn in as the new governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order Tuesday banning the term “Latinx” from official use in the state government.
It is one of the first, if not the first, executive order of its kind, Tabitha Bonilla, an associate professor of human development and social policy at Northwestern University, told NBC News.
It was one of seven orders signed by Sanders, a Republican, right after taking the oath. The other ones focused on prohibiting Arkansas schools from teaching critical race theory, budgeting and spending as well as other government affairs.
CNN lost it over her ban, saying ‘how dare she’ ban the term because it’s ‘insensitive’:
The term is absolutely offensive to Cubans, Hispanics, another other Spanish speaking citizens and immigrants.
And I applaud Sanders for taking an immediate stand on an issue like this.
