This is the most idiotic thing I've seen in a long time.

Agreed, though I reckon to some extent it would make sense to diversify test questions as part of a larger effort to foster a learning environment in which minority groups are included, not marginalized.

Ya, the dinosaur thing confused me as well. The last creationist I spoke with thought that human beings and dinosaurs lived side by side and any compelling evidence contrary to the story provided in the Bible is a cover-up by the "scientific establishment," God testing our faith, or some form of mischief on the part of Satan as he tries to sow seeds of doubt in the minds of believers. I don't really know what most creationists tend to argue though.
