Nearly three years ago, a Christian preschool in Chaffee County, Colorado walked away from the state's new universal pre-K program rather than drop its faith-based hiring rules. That standoff pointed to a bigger question about whether religious schools can access public funding without signing on to nondiscrimination terms. Now it looks like the U.S. Supreme Court is about to answer it.
Earlier this week, the justices agreed to hear St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy, a case brought by two Catholic preschools and the Archdiocese of Denver. Oral arguments are expected this fall, with a ruling likely by summer 2027. The outcome could reshape how states across the country balance religious liberty against anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ families.
What the Case Is About
Colorado's Universal Preschool Program, which launched in 2023, offers every four-year-old in the state 15 free hours of preschool per week. Families are free to choose any participating provider – public, private, or faith-based. Roughly 40 of the more than 2,000 participating preschools are religious.
To take part, providers sign an agreement promising not to discriminate against families based on a long list of characteristics that includes sexual orientation and gender identity. That means a four-year-old with a gay or trans parent, for example, could not be turned away on that basis.
That point didn’t sit well with some providers. The Archdiocese of Denver, which oversees 34 Catholic preschools, asked for a religious exemption so its schools could admit only families who agree to uphold Catholic teachings on sex and gender.
The state declined the exemption. In August 2023, two parishes – St. Mary's in Littleton and St. Bernadette's in Lakewood – sued. Joining them in the suit is the Archdiocese and a Catholic family.
A federal district court ruled in favor of Colorado in 2024. The 10th Circuit affirmed that ruling in September 2025. The Catholic plaintiffs then appealed to the Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case earlier this week.
The Religious Liberty Argument
Lawyers for the preschools, led by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, argue that Colorado has carved out exemptions from its nondiscrimination rule for secular reasons – allowing some preschools to prioritize children of color, gender-nonconforming children, or low-income families, for example – while refusing a similar carveout for faith-based providers.
That uneven treatment, they say, makes the rule neither neutral nor generally applicable, which runs counter to Supreme Court precedent on the issue.
The schools also point to the real-world cost of being shut out of the program. Parish preschool enrollment in the Denver archdiocese has reportedly dropped about 20 percent since the program began, and two Catholic preschools have closed – including one that mostly served low-income and minority families.
"Colorado promised families a universal preschool program, then cut out families like ours because we chose a Catholic education," said Dan and Lisa Sheley, two parents named in the suit.
The State’s Position
Colorado counters that the nondiscrimination requirement cannot be ignored. Participating schools agree to admit all four-year-olds on equal terms because the program is publicly funded and exists to serve every child in Colorado.
Exemptions for things like income level or disability don't carve up a protected class, the state argues – they just direct resources toward underserved kids. State officials have declined to comment on the pending case.
A Familiar Fight, a Bigger Stage
This isn't the first time Colorado's preschool program has ended up in court. Back in 2023, we covered a similar lawsuit involving a private evangelical preschool that sued over the program's hiring requirements.
That case focused on staff rather than students, but the underlying question was the same: can a state condition public funding on rules that conflict with a school's religious beliefs?
The Supreme Court has leaned toward religious interests in a string of recent cases. Just last month, the justices struck down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy on free-speech grounds, siding with a Christian counselor.
But the term before, they ruled that a Christian teacher in another state had to follow district policy on using transgender students' pronouns, showing the line is not always drawn in one direction.
If the Court delivers a conclusive ruling, it will land well beyond Colorado. Universal pre-K programs are expanding across the country, and nearly every one of them includes some version of a nondiscrimination clause. A win for the Catholic preschools could open up public funding to a wider range of faith-based providers – and expand their legal right to turn some families away.

If ya take public funds you hafta follow the rules set by the government and treat all the people equally (you know...the ones providing for those public funds).
If ya want to enforce religious rules then stay a private, religious school.
One group's religious beliefs should not overshadow the rights of everyone else because of random, special privilege. Secular, multicultural, multi-religious society and all that.
Simple.

We signed our child up for a religious pre-school when she was 2. When the administrator of the school found out we were "gay," she wrote us a letter stating the school would "only teach the relationships in the bible." hoping to encourage us to withdraw our application. We went to meet with her and reasurred her that was exactly what we intended. It was important to us that our daughter have exposure to the world. Religion is part of that. We are not particularly religious, but believe in a lot of the concepts the school was teaching. (It also suited our schedules and came highly recommended) The administrator was satisfied with our conversation and our daughter was treated with the same respect as the other children. It was a positive experience.

If you take public money, you play by ALL the public rules/laws. This is just another case of a so called Christian organization trying to force its view down everyone else’s throat under the guise of “we answer to a higher order.” If you want to operate to the “higher order’s” rule then get your funding, all of your funding, from the higher order. Oh, and start paying taxes on all your property. The United States was not founded on Christian principles or any other religious orders principles. The separation of church and state is absolute and we as a nation are doomed to chaos and destruction in the same way that the state/church relationships drove the founding fathers to author the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Plus, isn't conversion a part of their business strategy? It makes no sense to turn away so-called "sinners" who, in their view, need to be exposed to the teachings of their religion. Or are they really not that concerned with saving people? Makes no sense from the outside.

Return to the basics:
John 6:37 : "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me, I will never cast out".
If one believes in Christ, God's word, and the Bible, no one has the authority to turn away one of God's children.

Can a Synagogue decline membership to neo-notzee klan members or Odin Worshipping Vikings? Ultimately any Private Organization of worship can set the requirements for membership. All places of worship and their charities and their schools are PRIVATE PROPERTY. No Tresspassing is the humble request of peaceful worshippers to be left alone and worship their deity in their manner for their system of beliefs. Not Public Property, strictly for members only. As are all organizations, professional, religious, or social.

this is exactly why my children are homeschooled and will be also going on a wandering education in europe once they hit the right age to do so to also experiance the world and get real world experience as well a well rounded worldly education in a practical real world setting. im sick and tired of religion and religious based organizations using any sort of discrimination bigotry and hate to justify there reasonings. what you hold as your personal belief is your own education is not mean to push dogma or view point personally held education is the main key to devolop reasoning skills critical thinking and to be a well rounded human being. everything else being done in schools now is just to make blind and wandering drones who will whorship at the table of idiots.

I carefully read the article above several times to understand what it's talking about. Because it's Skippy; there's actually three maybe four different issues being brought up here. 4) Government dictating Private schools on who they can hire. 2) Government dictating Private schools who they can except as students. 3) Private schools taking government (tax money) and ignoring the government rules for excepting that money. 1) actually this should have been #1; any school whatsoever denying a preschool child an education for any reason whatsoever. A) what in living hell would a preschool child know about their sexual preferences? That's a adult pissing match with children caught in the crossfire. B) if any so-called "Christian" school is turning down a child for any reason I wouldn't want my children going there anyway, that's not Christian. C) it said, "religion" and so-called Christian school isn't the only religious schools out there, just because Christianity started the public school system. Islamic schools don't allow females and kill LGBTQ+ people. If the parents don't want their children exposed to Christianity way sent them to a Christian school? That's what Public schools are for. This shouldn't be a issue, like with the state of Texas if they don't want to jump through Washington DC 's hoops cut off the tax payers money. Texas is good at flipping off Washington DC and still getting their funding and shrugging if Washington DC does cut them off.

Rev. Dixon,
While I agree with most of what you said, I still don't think any school that accepts tax dollars should be allowed to discriminate against anyone that paid into the tax pool. I certainly hope that if the schools teach the children to hate their parents, most parents wouldn't send their children there, especially with the tuition costs of parochial pre-schools, but still, some would overlook that if the programs were exceptional. These children deserve to be in an environment of acceptance, especially at this point in thier lives. Accepting tax dollars as part of their funding plans moves these schools from the sphere of "private." and into the sphere of "public" and as so, should abide by the public school rules!!

As much as i dont believe any special favors for deviant sexual demented pervert parents. Which should burn in Hell forever for influencing children. I suppose that if the church accepts the child. Maybe . Just maybe, we can save the child from the evil parents ways. In a slow suttle way. Teaching the child the parents are an abomination. If we do nothing we most likely lose another child to Satan.
-
Michael Hunt
Teaching a child their parents are an abomination will do nothing but cause severe mental distress to the child. God teaches to love your neighbor, not demean them as demented, perverted abominations because you disapprove of the person they love.
Maybe instead of accusing gay people of being deviant, sexual, demented perverts you should condemn the numerous faith leaders who have been arrested and charged for pedophilia and sexual assault. For all the preaching about how gay parents are perverts harming children, it's way too common for the actual pedophiles to be the very preachers pushing the hateful lies about the LGBTQ+ community.
-
Patricia Ann Gross
Steven,
How very Christian of you: Condemning someone before God has the chance to. (Of course, I'm being sarcastic). What are you really afraid of? These children did not choose their parents, one or both of the parents chose the child. Why would you punish them? IF the school teaches that their parents are going to hell, perhaps it is not the best place for the child to be anyway, because they deserve a school that welcomes students of all backgrounds and not a place they will be looked down on because of something they have no control over. Would you send your children to a school that taught them that it was "righteous" to hate their parents? I doubt it, at least I hope you wouldn't. Do you know that many of the LGBTQIA++ parents are Christian? That there are Christian denominations that welcome the LGBTQIA++ as members, church leaders, and pastors, and NOT as sinners in need of redemption because of their sexual preference or gender identity?

You'll find way more Michael if you search for public school teachers sexually abusing kids. That's where they not only teach lgbtqia++map is good, they demonstrate it to the students.
Ultimately you'll find that anywhere children hang out is where molesters converge. It's a human problem across any faith or lack of faith. Man needs no help to commit sin, just the opportunity.
-
Michael Hunt
Another straw man. Sexual abuse is, unfortunately, found across our society in all groups. My point was to contrast the accusations against the LGBTQ+ community of being evil pedophiles with the reality that sexual abuse is problematic within Christianity as well.
The fact you keep lumping minor attracted persons (MAP) to the LGBTQ+ community is disgusting and shameful. Pedophilia has never been accepted within the community and I'm pretty sure you know that. Still, you continue to demonize queer people as embracing sexual predators contrary to reality. Public schools teach acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. I have not heard of a single school teaching children that pedophilia is good and if any school is, they should have the entire staff fired and replaced immediately.
Funny that you attack the public school system when the private school system has just as much of a problem with sexual abuse, if not a larger one.
"According to a survey, approximately 10% of students in private schools have reported experiencing sexual abuse, compared to 7% in public schools. However, these statistics may not reflect the actual prevalence of sexual abuse in private schools, as many cases go unreported."

As a Gay man, I am appauled and sickened at the so called CHRISTIAN people who have given their sick, Bigoted, and HATEFUL opinions about something they know NOTHING about!!! All they know is what their version of the Bible that has been written and re-written in so many ways that it no longer even resembles the books that the authors in the bible wrote about!! Children of Gay men and women are just as "NORMAL" as straight parented kids. Damn people are you that full of HATE that you would tell a child that their parents were abominations to God?? Has your church taught you and instilled in you that much HATE?? I would be looking for another Religious outlet if I were you.... We don't go to church because we live in the "Hateful alley of the Bible-belt"... We are not accepted or wanted and you know what?, I could give a sh__t less... God and I are doing just fine by ourselves!! Did you learn the teachings of Christ at all?? You must have skipped that week in sunday school.... So far from the Christian morals that you have professed on this forum, I don't know a decent Gay person who would want to associate with you or your schools anyway!! Peace be with you, however, I have a feeling your kind of Christian doesn't know the meaning of the word!!

With a last name like "Hawkins", you'd expect explorers in our line. Our little branch on the Hawkins family tree is no different: we had Protestants, Catholics, Lutherans, Buddhists, Luciferians, Pagans, Agnostics and Atheists among our tribe, as well as gay, lesbian and bisexual folks.
It's no wonder then, and it was no mistake that the first marriage ceremony I performed as Universal Life Church marriage minister was for a lesbian couple.
God is bigger, wider and more ancient than all those sects listed above combined, and probably laughs heartily at us as we struggle to accept one another simply as "HUMAN BEINGS" with varying belief systems. Just a guess, though - nobody on Earth KNOWS for SURE, really. My two cents' worth for your two eyes.

I know your situation personally. My maternal great-grandparents' last names were Zimmerman (Jewish) and Ishmael (Muslim). By the time it got to my parents, they were members of the Episcopal Church (Christian). After my father died, my mother remarried a Catholic. I have been through close to eight Christian denominations and currently, although I have affinity with the United Church of Christ (UCC), Presbyterian (PCUSA), and Episcopal Churches, I am not completely aligned with any one, as all have their plusses and minuses.

The easiest fix is for parents to get a clue and for schools to abide by all the rules. Anti-discrimination, especially. If parents plan on and can afford sending their kids to a religious private school or homeschooling to keep their kids away from other children whose parents don't look like theirs, they can afford an unsubsidized private preschool too. The biggest problem I see with this whole argument is, you cannot shelter your children forever. At some point in their lives they will come into contact with another child with gay parents, and what do you do then? It may be at the park on a weekend, in a public sports team, or their other extra-curricular activities. What I don't understand is why are people so afraid of diversity?

Allowing an opposing philosophical view into a classroom will cause division and disruption in that classroom.
I can only imagine what would happen if my hard boiled self were in a classroom that taught woke ideology. It would go poorly for everyone but me.
-
Michael Hunt
Allowing opposing views into the classroom is part of the Socratic method utilized in schools. For someone regularly complaining about public schools' "woke ideology" in the classroom, you seem to have zero issues with conservative ideology being taught in classes without any ability to be critical of the ideology.
The only time opposing philosophical views would create division and disruption in a classroom would be when one side of the discussion refuses to engage with the other side, relies on logical fallacies to "defend" their views, and comes to the discussion with a completely closed mind. I've experienced opposing views in classrooms before, even times where my view was in the minority, and I came out of all of those discussions more educated on the topic and with a better understanding of the flaws and strengths of my arguments as well as my opponent's. I've even come to change my opinion on points after recognizing the flaws or misconceptions contained in my views.
If your "hard boiled self" were in a classroom that was disrupted and divided over opposing viewpoints, it means one side of the discussion is not engaging in good faith. Based on your reliance on logical fallacies and dishonest sources of information, being in that classroom would go very poorly for you. Being intentionally disruptive and divisive would not win you any arguments against an educator. It's the type of behavior toddlers exhibit when throwing a tantrum for not getting what they want.

Oh now not another one of these cases in Colorado. First it was wedding cakes, then wedding photos, followed by a web site for a gay couple getting married, (remember this lawsuit involved a couple that didn't know they were gay, all ready married to women and didn't even know each other), and now here are Christians in Colorado with another BS lawsuit.

Sir Lionheart
What else can we expect, it’s a Democrat state. They’ll try to sue you if you use the wrong pronouns, or smile at their green, purple, and blue streaked hair. Fortunately, most of us still have a sense of humor where we can still laugh at ourselves, as well as at them, and then just get on with life. 🤭

Michael Hunt
Who's been sued for smiling at someone with colored hair? Who's been sued for accidentally using someone's wrong pronouns? I could see someone being sued if they were intentionally doing so with malice, especially if they're also assaulting or harassing the person while doing so, but as far as I can find, there have been zero lawsuits against a person simply for using the wrong pronoun for someone.
Meanwhile, Republicans are suing news outlets if they publish anything critical about them. Patel is suing The Atlantic for their reporting of his drunken behavior despite The Atlantic having a long, well-documented history of strong journalistic ethics and factual reporting. In Arizona, a failed GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate sued a radio host for criticizing him and his actions and that case was unanimously thrown out by the Arizona Supreme Court who said lower courts should have swiftly dismissed the case before it ever got to their desks.

ServantOfJudgement
There's quite a few lawsuits where people sued for hair and pronouns Michael. It starts with smiles and wrong pronouns and when it hits the courtroom it's called harassment and discrimination. Lionheart's correct.
Bringing lgbtqia2s++ mantra into a classroom that can't recognize it will naturally create strife and lawsuits.
-
Michael Hunt
Okay, which lawsuits? Who has been sued for smiling at someone with blue hair or for accidentally misgendering someone by using the wrong pronouns?
I've found a suit where a teacher was disciplined by a university for intentionally misgendering a student on discrimination grounds and the teacher won their case, but no one suing someone else for accidentally using the wrong pronoun.
Surely if there are "quite a few lawsuits" you can at least find one to prove your statement.
-
ServantOfJudgement
That's what happens Michael. People can't and won't follow laws. That's one of points of the old testament. We just won't no matter what. I won't and you won't. We all won't.
Like I said, it starts with a chuckle and by the time the legal system gets it it discrimination.
I'll be honest, I can work with pink haired people and think they're craving attention to myself. I won't cave to bizarre gender identity though. I feel like I'm lying to them and myself. It's just how I feel.

I think it's safe to assume that, since you didn't bring up any specific case to prove your point, there hasn't ever been such a case. These lawsuits you speak of exist only in your head, not reality.

Michael, there's been articles of pronoun lawsuits on this site you've commented on.
If I show links to lawsuits, you'll argue that they're not or you'll argue that their discrimination lawsuits, not from a chuckle. Either way, you'll dismiss my effort to show you. No link for you.
Well, were humans. We make fun of our opponents and enemies.
That's why Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of conservatives getting blasted and assassinated. It's fun to make fun of people and things we don't like or don't agree with.
-
Michael Hunt
You seem to be projecting your modus operandi onto me. From what I've been able to find on this blog, there have been no articles about someone being sued for accidentally misgendering a transgender person, nor have there been any lawsuits because someone laughed at their hair.
I found one post about a teacher being fired for refusing to use a student's preferred pronouns, one about a retail employee being fired for refusing to use a co-workers preferred pronouns, and one about a religious university firing staff for listing their pronouns in their professional email signatures. If I've missed something, please correct me.
If you show me links proving that someone was sued for smiling or laughing at someone's hair color or for accidentally using the incorrect pronouns, I'll gladly apologize, admit I was wrong, and condemn the lawsuits for their frivolity and attack on free speech. Instead of deflecting and attacking me, provide us proof that I'm wrong so the rest of the blog can see.
Also, Jimmy Kimmel did not make fun of Charlie Kirk being assassinated. He explicitly stated that it's horrible someone's life was cut short. His comments were about the reaction from conservatives as they immediately declared the shooter as a left-wing radical before any evidence was provided about the shooter just so they could "score political points." His comments were made to point out how quickly the right made Kirk into a martyr to further their political agenda. Because of this, the government threatened ABC to get them to pull Kimmel off the air in a clear attack on free speech.
Again, do better.

Religious freedom cannot not mean freedom to discriminate. During the time of slavery in America, people used the Bible to justify segregation and unequal rights for people of color, claiming their dark skin was the "mark of Cain." If a religious school can deny education to LGBTQ families based off their claimed faith beliefs, what would stop them from denying education to people of color as well?

What really angers me is when adults USE children to create their 15 minutes of fame. No thought as to the damage being done to a young mind, just selfish flag waiving. It DOES NOT MATTER what your lifestyle is, why is it necessary to use children as your political stick? To me, that is children abuse.
-
Michael Hunt
Agreed. I can't believe the Catholic church is using children to attack the perceived sins of their parents. The damage that could be done by a child being told they can't attend a school because there's something wrong with their parents would be terrible.
Why use young children seeking an education to push the anti-LGBTQ political agenda of the Evangelical and far-right bases?
-
Brien
Tell me this, if you're a LGBT parent, why are you sending your children to a school that considers your life a sin and teaches a belief based on that? In this example, the parents chose this conflict and are using children to push their views. Let me illustrate my thoughts better: There are 3 rooms. One room contains a bunch of zealot beliefs where everyone inside feels righteous and must have everything done their way based on those beliefs. The second room is filled with the need to rebel against the first room and must shout it at every opportunity, and must advance controversy to get the first room to do things their way. The third room has a table, a few chairs, some good food and drink. It is calm and peaceful. There is a phrase on the wall that reads, "Self reliance does not need anyone's approval ". There are two doors opposite each other leading to the other rooms. They are locked from the inside so the crazy cannot get in. That is the room where my life is. As far as I see, the religious and rebellious beliefs are mirror images of each other. They need approval or obedience from each other and they won't stop until they get it. Chose your room wisely, ✌️
-
Michael Hunt
One reason a family might want to send their kids there is because it's the closest, most convenient school for them to attend. Maybe all of the child's friends are planning to go there. Maybe there is no local public school in their area because of the Evangelical right's decades long movement to eliminate public schools and force children into religious schools.
Either way, this isn't about a family suing the school, this is the school suing the state because the state will only provide the tax-free, religious school with taxpayer funding if they agree to not discriminate against any groups. There's no couple looking for 15 minutes of fame and using their child to do so, just religious schools wanting to discriminate against LGBTQ people.
-
Brien
Ok, so the "private" school that should receive no public money is demanding they get their way and get tax dollars, did I get that correct? Sounds like 15 minutes of fame to me no matter what room it comes from.
I appreciate and understand what you are saying. Can you understand what I am saying?-

Yes, that is correct and I do see what you're saying and understand your point. I definitely agree that it's frustrating to see a group seeking their 15 minutes of fame by using children as pawns.
