Supreme Court Takes Up Colorado Pre‑K Religious Freedom Clash
Conservative voices argue the state's universal preschool program threatens Catholic families and revives anti‑Catholic statutes.
The US Supreme Court is hearing a religious freedom case that involves the Archdiocese of Denver and Colorado's universal preschool program.
The Archdiocese of Denver wants the ability to turn away LGBTQ families from Catholic preschools that receive state funding, and Catholic families are being shut out of the program because of an equal opportunity clause tied to gender identity.
Andrea Picciotti‑Bayer writes that Colorado's universal preschool revives vile anti‑Catholic laws, stating, "Colorado's universal preschool revives vile anti‑Catholic laws."
