8. One would question the intent here
Obviously, if the churches are helping out for the sake of doing "good works" then that, to me is noble and laudable.

However, if they are engaging the schools, (using other people's money, tax-free) with the primary purpose of proselytizing the parents and students, and they do not make that motive clear, then that is an ulterior motive and I call that deception and we know who THEY say is the master of that.

So, either they are helping out because that is the right thing to do, or they are merely being opportunists rolling in a religious Trojan Horse in order in order to add to their numbers and increase their donor-base like any business might.

Of course, they can speak with a forked-tongue and say it is both, but that does not solve the dilemma, does it?
