Bill 118 hr 2906, also known as the Reject Latinx Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered in the US Congress. The bill aims to reject the use of the term "Latinx" in official government documents and communications.
The bill argues that the term "Latinx" is unnecessary and divisive, and that it does not accurately represent the Hispanic community. Supporters of the bill believe that the term is a form of cultural appropriation and that it undermines traditional gender roles within the Hispanic community.
Opponents of the bill argue that the term "Latinx" is inclusive and respectful of gender diversity within the Hispanic community. They believe that rejecting the term would be a step backwards in terms of promoting equality and inclusivity. If passed, the Reject Latinx Act would prohibit the use of the term "Latinx" in all official government communications and documents.

Overall, the Reject Latinx Act has sparked a heated debate within Congress and the Hispanic community. Supporters and opponents continue to voice their opinions on the bill, with both sides presenting compelling arguments for and against its passage.
