A Colorado mother contends that state officials blocked her family from receiving $12,000 in early education subsidies because she chose a faith-based institution, according to coverage from Fox News and the New York Post. The dispute over the funding has escalated into a legal battle currently reaching the Supreme Court.

The parent, Erika Nagle, has children enrolled at St. Mary, a Catholic school situated in Littleton, Fox News reported. She stated that two of her children were barred from accessing Colorado's universal early childhood initiative, leaving her to pay the costs directly. Religious schools contesting the state program maintain that Colorado's operating requirements unfairly restrict their traditional admissions standards and place undue burdens on their religious convictions.
