The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term on Oct. 5, 2026. One of the cases that the justices have agreed to hear is a First Amendment religious liberty case, St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy.
The case arose because Colorado’s new Universal Preschool Program only provides funding to preschools that agree to abide by a nondiscrimination policy. That policy forbids, among other things, denying admission because of a student’s or parent’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
