The lawsuit names Lisa Roy, executive director of Colorado Department of Early Childhood, and Dawn Odean, director of Colorado's Universal Preschool program.
"The Department is purporting to require all preschool providers to accept any applicant without regard to a student or family’s religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity, and to prohibit schools from “discriminat[ing] against any person” on the same bases," the lawsuit reads. The lawsuit says enrollment has dropped at St. Mary’s and families have said it’s because they do not participate in Universal Preschool. It says the state has “cornered” the market on preschools, and due to lower enrollment, the parishes will have to charge significantly higher prices.
“The Governor believes in building a Colorado for all, and a community where everyone is free from discrimination and this voter-approved program has received a 43% increase in enrollment in universal preschool including gaining the participation of many faith-based preschool providers," Cahill said.
