State School Board
reverses itself on B.C./A.D. controversy
FRANKFORT, KY—“This
may be the shot heard ‘round the world in the battle against political
correctness in our schools,” said Martin Cothran of The Family Foundation of
Kentucky. The comments came after the State School Board reversed a decision it
made in its April meeting that would have included the designations B.C.E.
(Before the Common Era) and C.E. (Common Era) in referring to dates. The
decision resulted in an explosion of protest that has gained national attention.
