Supreme Court takes Catholic preschool case

The case, St. Mary Catholic Parish v.

Roy, provides the conservative-majority court with a new opportunity to build on recent rulings affirming the rights of religious groups.

Colorado officials contend that the nondiscrimination provision is necessary to ensure that taxpayer-funded programs are inclusive of all families.

The Trump administration has signaled its support for the Catholic entities, arguing that the state's exclusion constitutes religious discrimination.

The eventual ruling could have major implications for the intersection of LGBTQ+ rights and religious liberty in public funding.
