Listen live: Supreme Court weighs religious freedom, LGBTQ rights in Colorado case

The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear arguments in a closely watched case pitting religious freedom against LGBTQ protections in Colorado’s publicly funded preschool program.

Catholic preschools are challenging a state policy requiring participating schools to refrain from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

The schools argue the requirement violates their First Amendment rights, while Colorado maintains that religious institutions receiving public funding must follow the same rules as other providers.

The ruling could have broader implications for religious schools nationwide.

Oral arguments are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
