So instead of using Anno Domini,
they want to use Christian Era?
OK... Latin, English, it matters not.
Anno Domini means "In the Year of our Lord".
The abbreviation A.D. refer to that. B.C. refers to "Before Christ".
So dates are correctly written thusly: 750 AD, 1066 AD, 450 BC etc.
The date and signature section on the U.S. Constitution reads:
"Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth day in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth. In Witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names."
I take issue with changing from A.D. and B.C. because it is an attempt to slowly cloud truth and history in the minds of future generations, so I refuse to acknowledge anything but A.D. and B.C.
Throughout history, when foreigners intend to enslave a people, they attempt to wipe out their history and culture so they lose their national identity. Once national identity is unknown to citizens, they cease fighting to preserve it.
Any educator who engages is obfuscating, changing or omitting American history and historical roots is a Traitor attempting to subvert the Constitution. Because for an educated person, this is not done by accident. If my poor pitiful brain remembers what A.D. means, so does every professor in this land. Traitors in time of war are unceremoniously shot.
Anyone in America who hates America should leave America immediately.

Oh, I forgot, “In the Year of Our Lord”, of course, remains a perfectly acceptable way to write dates.
