Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) is already getting to work by banning one word from being used in Arkansas government documents.
Fox News reported Sanders issued an executive order prohibiting the use of the term “Latinx” in government documents.
She mentioned a Pew Research poll that found only 3% of American Latinos and Hispanics used “Latinx” to describe themselves, as the outlet noted.
“Ethnically insensitive and pejorative language has no place in official government documents or government employee titles,” Sanders states in the executive order.
The order continues, “The government has a responsibility to respect its citizens and use ethnically appropriate language, particularly when referring to ethnic minorities.”
It argues, “One can no more easily remove gender from Spanish and other romance languages than one can remove vowels and verbs from English.”
The order then states, “It is the policy of the Governor’s administration to prohibit the use of culturally insensitive words for official state government business.”
On Tuesday, Sanders was sworn in as the state’s first female governor.
She opened up about her policy agenda during an interview with Fox News.
“I’ve made no secret that the biggest priority I have for this session is a large-scale education reform package,” Sanders said
