Arkansas Gov. Outlaws Term "Latinx" on Official State Communications
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Arkansas's new Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order
on her first day in office this week banning use of the term "Latinx" on
official Arkansas government communications. "Latinx" is a gender
nonbinary term that is often used in place of "Latino" or "Latina" and
is preferred by many as a more inclusive descriptor.
