Looks like C.E. has replaced A.D. The purge of Christianity from the public square continues.

From the internets....
The use of BCE/CE in place of BC/AD dates back to at least the early 1700s12. The use of “common era” in place of A.D. first appears in German in the 17th century CE and in English in the 18th1. These abbreviations have been in frequent use by Jewish academics for more than 100 years, but became more widespread in the later part of the 20th century, replacing BC/AD in a number of fields, notably science and academia2.
