No, they shouldn't, I'm sure it would all be simpler using good old Roman numerals.

Ask the protestants if they want a catholic calender brought in by a pope and based on the ancient Roman model taught to their children in schools as well, and then count how many say. "No we want the old one we always had."

People really are. I called it 10 years ago when I started hearing people bitching about their kids being taught the very basic overview of Islam’s beliefs in social studies. I said they’re gonna be super pissed when they find out whose numerals the math department is teaching.

Of course not! No Arabic numerals. Children don't need arithmetic background, mathematics in general, no science. Let them just study the bible.
