Supreme Court Hears Colorado Preschool Case

The United States — Supreme Court of the United States has agreed to hear an appeal from St. Mary Catholic Parish and the Archdiocese of Denver, challenging United States — Colorado's decision to exclude them from a state-funded universal preschool program. The exclusion stems from the religious organizations' faith-based admission policies, which restrict the admission of LGBTQ+ families and children. The plaintiffs argue that United States — Colorado is violating their religious rights, while the state maintains that religious schools must adhere to nondiscrimination laws to participate. The case will also involve the United States — Supreme Court of the United States considering narrowing a landmark 1990 decision regarding religious practices and broadly applicable laws. The Trump administration supports the appeal from St. Mary Catholic Parish.
