"In Colorado, we believe every child deserves to belong in their community and in their classroom. Colorado's universal preschool program was built on that promise: that public dollars serve all children without exception."
"When a preschool uses taxpayer funding to turn away a four-year-old because of who their parents love, it isn't exercising religious freedom. It's using public money to teach discrimination."
The Supreme Court will hear St. Mary Catholic Parish in Littleton v. Roy, which challenges Colorado's universal preschool program's nondiscrimination rules. These rules require all participating providers, including religious schools, to accept children regardless of their parents' sexual orientation or gender identity. Lower courts have upheld the policy, but challengers argue it conflicts with religious beliefs. LGBTQ+ advocates warn of significant implications for families nationwide, emphasizing that public funding should not support discrimination against children based on their parents' identities.
