Now schools are ditching AD and BC in RE lessons to avoid offending non-Christians... but critics blast the 'capitulation to political correctness'

    The traditional terms BC, Before Christ, and AD, Anno Domini, are being ditched for BCE – Before Common Era, and CE – Common Era
    The new terms still denote the periods before and after the birth of Christ
    Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey said the rulings by the religious education committees were a ‘great shame’

Oh please. I have a history minor.  It never bothered me.

The only time I ever saw BCE and CE was in Hebrew school.
