Supreme Court to Hear Catholic Preschool Religious Rights Case Against Colorado

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear St. Mary Catholic Parish and the Archdiocese of Denver's appeal claiming Colorado violated their religious rights by excluding them from a taxpayer-funded universal preschool program due to faith-based admission policies restricting LGBTQ+ families. The state argues religious schools can participate but must follow nondiscrimination laws. The case will also examine narrowing a 1990 decision on religious exemptions from broadly applicable laws.
