Arkansas Governor Bans Woke Term From State Documents

New Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is hitting the ground running.

One of Gov. Sanders's first moves was taking on the woke mob directly by signing an executive order banning the use of “Latinx” in government documents because it is “culturally insensitive” to the Latino community, according to The Daily Wire.

“Ethnically insensitive and pejorative language has no place in official government documents or government employee titles,” Sanders' executive order stated. “The government has a responsibility to respect its citizens and use ethnically appropriate language, particularly when referring to ethnic minorities.”

The executive order noted that polling from the Pew Research Center has found that roughly only 2-3% of Latinos even use the word “Latinx” to describe themselves and that the Real Academia Española, a Madrid-based institution that serves as a guide for the Spanish language, has officially rejected the use of “x” as an alternative to “o” and “a” in Spanish.

“All state offices, departments, and agencies, unless granted an exemption by the Governor, shall review official documents of their respective entities regarding the use of the term ‘Latinx,' ‘latinx,' ‘Latinxs,' or ‘latinxs' in official state documents,” the order said.

Sanders, who made history by becoming the country's youngest governor, is also taking a direct hands-on approach to the controversial Critical Race Theory.

Sanders also signed an executive order Critical Race Theory, which the order described as “antithetical to the traditional American values of neutrality, equality, and fairness.”

“It emphasizes skin color as a person's primary characteristic, thereby resurrecting segregationist values, which America has fought so hard to reject,” the order said. “It is the policy of this administration that CRT, discrimination, and indoctrination have no place in Arkansas classrooms.”

Sanders was the White House Press Secretary under former President Trump from 2017 to 2019. She is the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who served from 1996 to 2007 and was the state's lieutenant governor from 1993 to 1996.

Sanders handily defeated Democrat Chris Jones and libertarian candidate Ricky Dale Harrington.
