No private religious school should get a penny of public money for any reason. If the Catholic Church wants to operate schools, it's up to them to pay for it, not the tax payers. No religious institution should be allowed to indoctrinate children at the public's expense.
Oh no! The RCC will be operating under a very, very slightly reduced income? How is Jesus going to afford all those ivory backscratchers? Pathetic. I hope they get sent back to pre-k themselves, maybe they could learn a few things like kindness and sharing.
I've said it many times: religion wants the RIGHT, indeed, they want a LICENSE, to discriminate. To make matters worse, in this case, they want public funding to bulwark that twisted position. They damned well shouldn't get it.
Education in the US is problematic enough as it is, without a state government spending public monies to support a bigoted organization. Were it up to me, ALL public-voucher-funded schools would be CUT OFF and focus put on improving the conditions of the existing public schools.
Benjamin Franklin had it right. If the religion is good, it should be able to sustain itself. If it isn't, it can fall of its own weight.
What is this “Natural Family” you speak of? Any qualification you want to make about rejecting an LGBT family from being natural can be applied to other families just as easily. “They didn’t birth the children.” What about adoptive families? Are they not welcome at your school too? “Only one parent is biologically related to the children.” Step children are already a thing, would a blended family (like the Brady Bunch or even his, mine, ours family) not be welcome?
What is so awful about having two of the same gender caring for children in a family unit? Full House had three father figures and no mother, but it’s okay because you don’t think of the guys having sex since they’re brothers. That sounds like a you problem not a society is bad problem.
“By creating a program that provides “universal” funding for preschool programs, Colorado has cornered the market for preschool services.“
Same as elementary school and secondary school, why not preschool? Pretty soon they’ll be making the same claim for their private schools. Preschool should already be free across the board, it should be a part of the public school system. They’re just angry that what was once a product to be sold (at whatever profit can be found) is now a government program.
The taxpayers of Colorado shouldn’t be paying for their own discrimination and oppression.
The most telling part of this is how stuck in the mud these fools are when it comes to the separation of church and state. That was one of the most important things that the founders of this Republic realized (even as they were themselves stuck in a past that saw no problem with slavery and child labor), two things that are now considered anti-American.
The Catholics are mad because they won't be able to brainwash another generation of children as their religion continues on an unstoppable death spiral.
Once again, we have a private institution demanding that everyone dance to their tune. This time instead of insisting they should get taxpayer funding despite not participating in the tax system, they are insisting everyone else suffer because we pool our money for the good of all. This is simply another example of The Church trying to exert their will on everyone.
Upset because they can't discriminate against Trans and Gays. And yet finds no trouble accepting students from broken families including those who abort, abuse and exploit children for personal gain is the best example of Catholic hypocrisy ever displayed.
"This ban forces parents to choose between paying out of pocket for the cost of faith-based preschool or receiving a free preschool education at any other private school in Colorado."
Why, yes! Yes, it does. Either follow the rules, or pay for your special order.
I am going to make this comment really simple; no religious, none, zero, zip should receive American taxpayer's dollars for their school or any other function period.
Do they actually put uniforms on pre-k kids? Or is this just a way of saying they don't want girls to wear pants?
Either way, I hate to tell you this RCC, but if you are telling parents that their 3-year-olds need to adhere to a strict dress code to go to your child care, then the bill isn't the only reason your enrollment numbers are going down.

You've heard of the Beatitudes, well here are the Beat-you-up-itudes, much more central to modern Christianity:
Cursed are the gays, for the Bible says it's okay to kill them. And besides, gay sex is icky.
Cursed are the trans and all non-binaries, for we just can't wrap our little minds around it.
Cursed are the atheists, for their non-belief in the afterlife scares us.
Cursed are the Muslims, for they're all terrorists.
Cursed are all the other religions, for they cut into our market.
Cursed are the poor, for they're all welfare takers, and seeing them makes us uncomfortable.
Cursed are the victims of gun violence, for they embarrass us for our love of guns.
Cursed are the liberals, for they want to uplift and respect all the above groups that we hate.
The RCC is currently worth $30 billion (US Dollars). Are they truly pleading poverty?

Want taxpayer dollars, RCC? Then pay your taxes like your own bible tells you to.
Oh, and by the way? Stop oppressing women, stop oppressing LGBTQs and stop molesting children.

Once again: To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin? Any religion that has its hands out to the government for financial help is a bad religion.
