Instead free exercise should be the right.

In the case of the 5er, the parents involved should do what is reasonable, be allowed to have their own ways taught. If it were half the students as 5ers to half 4ers, they can be taught at separate times and have recess while the other is taught. Or, they could be taught both and questioned appropriately.

It is reasonable to tell the parents they may have problems in other classes, colleges, and universities, but, let's accept that the scenario given is meant more for humor than for its goodness as a hypothetical. After all, it could be a religion of relative Einsteins, except that he was a Spinozaist.
