I came across this little piece in the Answers in Genesis web site. Note that it's a bit old, but in as much as AiG's is still publishing it, it's an indication that it's still relevant, I'm passing it along with comment.
"A Christian K12 school in South Carolina, with dedicated and highly qualified Christian teachers, [Hmm, I'm always suspicious of people who unnecessarily tout their qualifications or those of others.] has come under vicious attack by atheists. Why? Because one of its instructors, a fourth-grade teacher, tested her children about biblical creation, science, and dinosaurs (using AiG resources), [I gotta say, if you're going to play the Deceit Game then expect to be called on it. Simple as that. 
]
The atheist buzz about the dinosaur-and-Bible quiz, however, is not really all that surprising. Over the past few years, we have seen atheists becoming more aggressive and intolerant towards Christians. They are attempting to impose their belief system (yes, their religion) on the culture. [Ah yes, all those nasty atheists. Never mind that many Christians feel the same way about misrepresenting and distorting science.]
It seems that since the last presidential election, atheists have grown more confident about having something of a license to go after Christians. [The reasoning being: were it not for electing a liberal-minded President, atheists would still be cowering in their corner. MESSAGE: Keep us safe from atheists; never elect a liberal President.] These secularists want to impose their anti-God religion on the culture. They are simply not content using legislatures and courts to protect the dogmatic teaching of their atheistic religion of evolution and millions of years in public schools. [Evolution gets promoted to the status of a religion. Why? because the choir is better able to relate to the character of the enemy this way. Of course it's still a secular enterprise, but what the hey, take your pick.] There is something else on their agenda: they are increasingly going after Christians and Christian institutions that teach Gods Word beginning in Genesis. [Because they have nothing better to do in life than pick on fundies.]
In South Carolina recently, a fourth-grade teacher at Blue Ridge Christian Academy (a nondenominational K12 Christian school) showed students a DVD of a childrens program, in which AiG song-writer and dinosaur sculptor Buddy Davis and I are featured. In this DVD, we teach children the history of the universe from the Bible, with a special emphasis on teaching dinosaurs from a biblical perspective (as we do inside our Creation Museum). The teacher handed out a question sheet to the children to test what they learned from the DVD. (See the quiz below.)
The second page is rather hard to make out so here's what it says:
