Supreme Court to Hear Case on Religious Exemption to Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Law for Publicly Funded Preschools

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on Tuesday regarding a challenge by Catholic organizations to a Colorado law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in publicly funded preschool programs. The Archdiocese of Denver and other Catholic entities are seeking an exemption, arguing the nondiscrimination requirement burdens their religious exercise. The Trump administration is supporting the Catholic groups in this case, which further explores the intersection of First Amendment religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights.
