"Nobody pays attention to "common era" crap. It is more or less universally still "A.D."
I wish you were right, but "CE" is now the official term in academia and the media and government. I would not be surprised if textbook publishers would refuse to use the term "AD" even if it was used in the original manuscript.

I wish you were right, but "CE" is now the official term in academia and the media and government. They are deliberately astro-turfing it. There is no hue and cry that we need to toss "A.D." They are trying to force it on the population.

School boards should simply inform the publishers that if there is no "AD" in it, there is no sale.
