Supreme’s to rule on if Colorado Catholic Schools can discriminate against gay parents kids

Catholic Pre-School’s that receive STATE Money want to NOT allow pres-schoolers of Gay parents admittance ….

So?

Those same parents that pay their State Taxes should denied the use of their tax money’s usage?

They should be paying for a church school to discriminate against them because of their sexual orientation?

Huh?

 

The Supreme Court will hear argumentsTuesday 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.

Colorado says their refusal to admit kids from those families violates the state’s anti-discrimination law.

But St. Mary Catholic Parish and the Archdiocese of Denver argue that the policy is based on religious teachings about same-sex marriage and that excluding them violates their free-exercise rights.

President Donald Trump’s administration is supporting the Catholic institutions.

A win for the preschools could further narrow a landmark 1990 Supreme Court decision that found religious practices don’t create exemptions from laws that otherwise apply broadly. Written by conservative icon Justice Antonin Scalia in a case over the spiritual use of peyote, a cactus containing mescaline that’s sacred to many Indigenous people, the decision has nevertheless long been a target of the conservative legal movement….

…

The plaintiffs, represented by the group Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, say the state has allowed other preschools to prioritize children with disabilities or those from low-income families, so admission based on religious beliefs about gender and same-sex marriage should be allowed, too. The Catholic preschools say their enrollment has dropped 20% since the program started…..

More….

Note…

The Church’s policy seems to be costing it admissions, eh?
