> Dear Karen,   
> 
> The Kentucky Board of Education has voted to take the first step in
> redefining how America dates time. The board voted to include a new
> secular system of dating the calendar, BCE (Before Common Era) and CE
> (Common Era), and added it to the BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno
> Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") method. 
> 
> The new secular system of time dating will appear in the curriculum
> and other materials used by Kentucky educators. This new system is
> already being included in textbooks across the nation. 
> 
> The new method will replace the birth of Christ as the dividing point
> in history. For example, the new system would change 2006 AD (Anno
> Domini) to 2006 CE (Common Era). 
> 
> It also opens the door for the ACLU to find a liberal activist judge
> who will forcefully remove the use of BC and AD. The ACLU types will
> claim that the use of BC and AD are a violation of the First Amendment
> because it dates history based on the birth of Christ.  
> 
> Take Action     
> 
> Should Congress pass a law making BC/AD the official method of dating
> time?
