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.

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.
