White House Keeps New Gender Neutral Navy Ratings Despite Petition To Restore Historic Ratings
by Staffwriter9 · November 16, 2016
The White House announced this week that it has decided to defend the Navy Secretary in his decision to change Navy rating titles in order to be more “gender neutral.” In September, the Navy announced the title changes and were confronted with great opposite from present and former service members and those who honored the historical job titles that have been in place since the Navy’s conception over 200 years ago. Despite vocal opponents and a White House petition that received well over the necessary 100,000 signatures to be considered, the administration responded and said they would not support restoring the ratings to their original titles.
