Executive Briefing
According to reporting by CBS News US Politics, The Archdiocese of Denver and Catholic preschools said they were unlawfully excluded from Colorado's universal preschool program over their refusal to admit students from LGBTQ families.
Detailed Factual Report
Washington — The Supreme Court on Tuesday is set to hear a dispute over religious rights when it weighs whether Colorado can exclude Catholic schools from its universal preschool program over their refusal to enroll students from families that don't adhere to the church's teachings on marriage and sex.
The case, known as St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy, is the latest clash over religious liberty and efforts to protect gay and transgender people from discrimination.
If the Catholic plaintiffs prevail, the decision would join a line of recent rulings in which the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has sided with religious institutions challenging their exclusion from state programs, opening the door for more public dollars to flow to religious schools.
"This is a program that was sold to them in Colorado as being universal, every child in the state would benefit," Amanda Dixon, a lawyer with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is representing the Catholic preschools and families in the case, said of her clients. "Yet they've had multiple children now go through preschool who haven't been able to benefit because they feel religiously obligated to send their kids to Catholic schools. They can't get the same benefit that everyone in the state is getting."
