Federal judge rules Colorado violates law by excluding Catholic preschools from universal program.

A federal judge ruled that Colorado was violating the law by excluding Catholic preschools from its universal preschool program. The Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) has been fined $1 for discriminating against Catholic preschools by preventing them from participating in the state’s universal preschool program. Senior U.S. District Judge John Kane found that the department violated the constitution by excluding Catholic preschools from the program based on “religious affiliation”.
