Supreme Court Challenges Colorado's Universal Preschool Mandate
Conservative voices see the Court's skepticism of forcing Catholic schools to accept non‑faithful families as a defense of religious liberty and a warning to state overreach.
For many voters, the case began when the Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday about Catholic preschools trying to join Colorado's universal preschool program.
The justices appeared skeptical of Colorado's push to require those Catholic schools to admit parents who do not follow Catholic beliefs, a move seen as an intrusion on religious freedom.
According to the Washington Examiner, a loss for Colorado would mark a fourth major First Amendment defeat for the state in the past decade, while CBS News notes the Court seems likely to side with the Catholic schools.
