This can't end well

An excerpted top story from the local weekly:

Five days a week, a school bus can be seen journeying around the community in search of kids.

However, this isn't your average school bus taking kids to school. The old yellow bus with blue stripes has been parking at schools and allowing kids to hop on board . . .

To do what? To go where? To find who? Learn more after the break . . .

. . . for quick Bible study during regular school hours.

Some argue that the Bible release time is crossing the line between separation of church and state, however, a [state] statute gives schools the discretion whether to allow the bus to park and let students attend.

I don't know what's more fun here.

Is it . . .

• The unhesitant interpretation of a state statute to allow random buses to pick up children from public schools?
• That this article sets the bible-thumpers up as menacing predators?
or,
• That there is a period for school-age children labeled "Bible release time?"

It's all pretty bad and wrong. To make it worse:

"They're being lured in with candy."

Thing here.
