5. We Dissected Frogs in our Basic Biology Class

Fetal Pigs were dissected by the advanced biology class that was typically only available to seniors. There was always accommodation for students that had religious or deeply personal beliefs so that they could opt out of dissecting the pig. They had to complete some alternative set of coursework to substitute for it though. They didn't just get a pass to go sit in the cafeteria.

This bill is RW showboating as has been posted. I believe the 1st Amendment already covers what they're trying to do. I'm pretty certain the threat of the ACLU has already tamed most cities and towns to the point they will permit religious groups of all religions.
