Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have unveiled an engaging new bill that seeks to prohibit the use of the controversial term &#8220;Latinx&#8221; in official federal communication.<\/p>\n<p>The Respect for Hispanic Americans Act (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruz.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/respect_for_hispanic_americans_act.pdf\">pdf<\/a>), introduced by Mr. Cruz and Mr. Rubio, addresses a contentious issue within the Hispanic community, as data shows that most oppose the term.<\/p>\n<p>If successful, this bill would take a firm stance against what the lawmakers argue is an unnecessary imposition on the language and identity of Hispanic Americans, by prohibiting the use of &#8220;Latinx&#8221; in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-senator-asks-two-biden-cabinet-members-whether-high-ranking-officials-are-using-encrypted-apps-to-cloak-communications\/\" title=\"GOP Senator Asks Two Biden Cabinet Members Whether \u2018High Ranking\u2019 Officials Are Using Encrypted Apps To \u2018Cloak\u2019 Communications\">official government communication<\/a> by federal agencies or employees.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Hispanic Americans overwhelmingly oppose the term &#8216;Latinx,&#8217; and I want to make sure our government does not bow to woke activists in our federal departments or agencies by insisting on ridiculous terminology like this,&#8221; Mr. Cruz said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Mr. Cruz, the term &#8220;Latinx&#8221; has no place in official government communication, and he proudly works with Sen. Rubio to keep it out.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Hispanic Americans don&#8217;t need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cruz-and-rubio-introduce-bill-to-ban-woke-term-latinx-from-federal-use-heres-why\/\" title=\"Cruz and Rubio propose banning 'Latinx' term in federal use.\">fabricated woke terminology imposed<\/a> on us,&#8221; Mr. Rubio said. &#8220;The term &#8216;Latinx&#8217; has no place in our federal agency&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-department-shuns-term-abraham-accords\/\" title=\"State Department Shuns Term \u2018Abraham Accords\u2019\">official communication<\/a> as it&#8217;s a degradation tossed around by progressive elites.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The term &#8220;Latinx&#8221; emerged in the 1990s from Latino and Latina youth and the LGBT community, representing a link to the indigenous heritage of many individuals, according to Maia Gil&#8217;Adi, an assistant professor of &#8220;Latinx and Multiethnic Literature&#8221; at Boston University.<\/p>\n<p>The bill states that the term is unnecessary and inappropriate, and its use should be eliminated from official government communication. The bill&#8217;s sponsors believe it is important to respect the wishes of Hispanic Americans, who overwhelmingly oppose the term.<\/p>\n<h2>Similar Bills, Bipartisan Issue<\/h2>\n<p>Similar bills have been introduced in the past, highlighting that this is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-portman-speaks-out-on-covid-19-bill\/\" title=\"Sen.
