A majority of the Supreme Court signaled on Tuesday it would allow Catholic preschools receiving taxpayer money to deny enrollment to children of same-sex couples, potentially delivering another significant win for religious rights in schools.

The court’s conservative majority was unconvinced that a Colorado law, which bars discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender in publicly funded preschools, could be squared with recent high-profile precedents that expanded the ability of those religious schools to receive public money.
