Abstract	In this article, the author reports how religious schools are being pressed to spell out their policies regarding gay students and the children of same-sex couples. As homosexuality has become one of the fiercest battlefronts in the "culture wars," religious schools have found it harder to exclude gays or their children without lawsuits or unwanted coverage in the news media, even though court precedents favor their right to take such action. As such, religious schools are clarifying their policies concerning the sexual orientation of students, parents, and faculty. However, the policies tend to be drawn up at the school level and can differ even within the same religious denomination. (ERIC).
