The Archdiocese of Denver, a group of Catholic preschools and a Catholic family in Colorado have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to determine if Colorado’s Universal Preschool Program (UPK) discriminated against them for not abiding by an LGBT nondiscrimination statement. In St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy, a federal lawsuit first filed in 2023, St. Mary Catholic Parish in Littleton and St. Bernadette Catholic Parish in Lakewood alleged that the state excluded them because of their religious beliefs from participating in the Colorado Universal Preschool Program Act, which was passed in 2022 to allow students to attend pre-K free of charge at participating schools.
