“In its 40-page decision granting the school’s request for a preliminary injunction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado also denied the state’s motion to dismiss the case.

“If {Colorado officials} enforce the anti-discrimination provisions against {Darren Patterson Christian Academy }—which they have left open the door to do—that will likely violate {the school’s} First Amendment rights,” the court wrote in its opinion in Darren Patterson Christian Academy v. Roy. “Indeed, exclusion of a preschool is inherently anti-universal, and denying participation based on one’s protected beliefs or speech is not equitable.”
