The real answer is to display all the other hundreds of Jewish laws in the classroom too, in the "spirit of the law". Have a class lesson on Jewish law and its interpretation. Send the kids home asking questions about why cheeseburgers are immoral.
Or how you can go to hell 4 times for cooking a bacon cheeseburger on Friday after sundown while wearing polyester pants and cotton underwear.
There is no concept of hell in the old testament. That's something the new Testament added on.
These are the best kind of responses. The ones where I have heard so many stupid things coming from religion that I can't tell whether or not you're serious.
I can tell you why three of them are problematic:
No bacon because pork isn't kosher.
Polyester and cotton are mixed fabrics.
You can't cook an animal in the milk of it's mother, so no cheeseburgers.
edit: as pointed out below, cooking on the Sabbath is the fourth.
