NewsAgo briefing
The clear picture
What happened
The Supreme Court is hearing arguments Tuesday over whether Catholic preschools in Colorado may participate in a publicly funded preschool program while declining to enroll some families with gay or transgender parents. The schools contend that exclusion based on their admissions policy violates constitutional religious-freedom protections, PBS NewsHour and The New York Times report.
Latest development
The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday in a case brought by Catholic preschools that say it’s unconstitutional to exclude them from a state-funded program over their admissions policy for LGBTQ+ families, the latest religious-rights case before the conservative-majority court.
Why it matters
The case could determine whether Colorado may condition access to its preschool funding program on compliance with LGBTQ-family protections when a participating religious school maintains contrary admissions rules, according to PBS NewsHour, The Hill and The New York Times.
