Supreme Court Hears Preschool Case

At the center of the dispute is a mandate that participating preschools must enroll children of same-sex couples, which the Catholic parishes refuse to do based on their religious beliefs.

The case provides the conservative-majority court with another opportunity to expand the rights of religious entities in public programs.

The Trump administration has signaled its support for the Catholic appeal, framing it as a matter of religious liberty.

A ruling is expected next year and could have significant implications for LGBTQ+ rights and school funding nationwide.
