A Christian school has filed a religious discrimination lawsuit after Colorado officials told it to change campus policies upholding the biblical belief in two biological sexes to receive universal preschool funds.
after Colorado officials told it to change campus policies upholding the biblical belief in two biological sexes to receive universal preschool funds.
The Colorado Department of Early Childhood and Universal Preschool Program informed Darren Patterson Christian Academy in Buena Vista that it must be open to hiring transgender employees at its Busy Bees preschool who use the clothing, restrooms and pronouns of their choice, according to the complaint filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for Colorado.
That amounts to “requiring the school to forfeit its religious status, beliefs, and exercise” in violation of First Amendment freedoms of religion, the complaint states. It notes that the school accepts children from all religious backgrounds, despite its policies requiring that they conform to their sex assigned at birth while on campus.
The lawsuit says state officials initially approved the campus for funding, then reversed course and denied the school’s request for a religious exemption after learning about the gender and sexuality policies.
