NO entanglement of churches and public schools, period. The churches can recruit on their own damn time and their own billion-dollar properties. They don't need the public schools - funded by ALL tax-payers - to help them out with their marketing. And that's all this is - just a different way of proselytizing.
No matter how "reasonable" it appears, I just don't see any need for this goat-rope of an activity. To me, it's not reasonable to remove part of the student body to a local Spookery for religious indoctrination. While leaving the rest of the class to do other activities. Though I might change my mind if those activities include studying a "World History of Atheism." 
One good indoctrination deserves another...
Off-topic: Orange County! I lived there for a while too. So long ago that I remember the good old Cuckoo's Nest. Where, if you didn't get dogpiled by the punks, you could get dogpiled by the shit-kickers from the country-western bar across the parking lot. And on a good night, you might get in the middle of an epic melee involving the punks AND the shit-kickers. Also starring the Costa Mesa Police Dept. and the Orange County Sheriff's Office. And EMS. Ah, good times...
