The US Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear a challenge by Catholic preschools to a state requirement that they enroll children of gay or transgender parents in order to receive public funds.

Colorado provides state funding for tuition at public or private preschools, including faith-based institutions, but has withheld it from Catholic preschools for violating nondiscrimination laws.
