The US Supreme Court on Tuesday considers a challenge by Catholic groups to a Colorado law barring anti-LGBT discrimination at publicly funded preschools, as conservative religious interests seek to extend their winning streak before the justices.
…
Colorado children in 2023 became eligible under state law for 15 hours per week of publicly funded preschool before entering kindergarten. Participating preschools may be public or private, secular or religious. But in each case, under the law, schools must give all children “equal opportunity” to enroll, regardless of the sexual orientation or gender identity of the students or parents.
The Archdiocese of Denver along with other Catholic entities and a Colorado family sued as the state’s universal preschool initiative was ramping up. They argued that the program’s anti-discrimination mandate burdened their religious exercise.
The archdiocese oversees 34 Catholic preschools, according to court papers. Its policy is to admit students only from families who support Catholic beliefs, including on same-sex relationships and gender identity.
How the hell did this make it to the supreme court? They can’t discriminate while receiving taxpayer money, but I won’t be surprised when the supreme court decides the opposite.
