Denver, Colorado, 1 de octubre de 2025 \/ 18:07 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

Tras a\u00f1os de batallas judiciales por la exclusi\u00f3n por parte del gobierno de Colorado de dos preescolares cat\u00f3licos de su Programa Universal de Preescolar, un tribunal de apelaciones de EE. UU. fall\u00f3 en contra de las parroquias el martes. <\/p>\n

El Tribunal de Apelaciones del D\u00e9cimo Circuito de EE. UU., en una decisi\u00f3n de 54 p\u00e1ginas<\/a>, dictamin\u00f3 que Colorado puede seguir excluyendo a los preescolares cat\u00f3licos debido a sus creencias religiosas.  <\/p>\n

La decisi\u00f3n se produce tras una serie de casos judiciales relacionados con los intentos del estado de Colorado de excluir a las escuelas desde el inicio del programa. <\/p>\n

Becket<\/a>, un bufete de abogados que defiende la libertad religiosa, present\u00f3 por primera vez una demanda en nombre de dos preescolares parroquiales cat\u00f3licos de la Arquidi\u00f3cesis de Denver en agosto de 2023. Un tribunal federal dictamin\u00f3 en junio de 2024 que el estado de Colorado discrimin\u00f3<\/a> a los preescolares cat\u00f3licos, pero finalmente los tribunales confirmaron la exclusi\u00f3n de los mismos por parte del estado. Los preescolares apelaron entonces ante el Tribunal de Apelaciones del D\u00e9cimo Circuito de los Estados Unidos.  <\/p>\n

Al calificar las acciones del estado como \u201cantirreligiosas\u201d tras el fallo del tribunal, Nick Reaves, asesor principal de Becket, dijo que Becket seguir\u00e1 luchando contra la decisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u201cColorado est\u00e1 castigando a las escuelas religiosas y a las familias a las que sirven por seguir su fe\u201d, dijo Reaves en una declaraci\u00f3n compartida con CNA.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa decisi\u00f3n del D\u00e9cimo Circuito permite que contin\u00faen las maniobras antirreligiosas del estado\u201d, continu\u00f3 Reaves. \u201cSeguiremos luchando para garantizar que todos los ni\u00f1os en edad preescolar en Colorado puedan acceder a una educaci\u00f3n de calidad y asequible\u201d.<\/p>\n

el Denver Catholic<\/a>, el medio de noticias de la arquidi\u00f3cesis de Denver, calific\u00f3 la decisi\u00f3n como \u201cun golpe para las familias cat\u00f3licas de Colorado con ni\u00f1os en edad preescolar\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa decisi\u00f3n del tribunal perpet\u00faa as\u00ed la discriminaci\u00f3n por motivos religiosos que enfrentan estas escuelas y familias cat\u00f3licas, quienes ya se sacrifican enormemente para brindar una educaci\u00f3n excelente y basada en la fe para sus hijos\u201d, dec\u00eda el art\u00edculo del 30 de septiembre del Denver Catholic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

El gobernador de Colorado, Jared Polis, celebr\u00f3 la decisi\u00f3n, diciendo que protege a los estudiantes de la \u201cdiscriminaci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEstamos construyendo un Colorado para todos, donde cada estudiante est\u00e9 libre de discriminaci\u00f3n\u201d, dijo Polis en un comunicado del 30 de septiembre declaraci\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/p>\n

En su proceso de admisi\u00f3n, los preescolares cat\u00f3licos en Denver buscan asegurar que los maestros y las familias defiendan su misi\u00f3n religiosa, incluidas las ense\u00f1anzas sobre sexualidad e identidad de g\u00e9nero, una pr\u00e1ctica que entra en conflicto con la cl\u00e1usula de no discriminaci\u00f3n del programa universal de preescolar sobre orientaci\u00f3n sexual e identidad de g\u00e9nero. <\/p>\n

Espec\u00edficamente, la Arquidi\u00f3cesis de Denver requiere que el personal y los padres firmen una \u201cDeclaraci\u00f3n de Creencias Comunitarias\u201d, comprometi\u00e9ndose a vivir de acuerdo con la ense\u00f1anza de la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica, que no reconoce las \u201ctransiciones\u201d de g\u00e9nero ni los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo.  <\/p>\n

El tribunal dictamin\u00f3 que los requisitos de admisi\u00f3n restrictivos del programa, que impiden la participaci\u00f3n de las escuelas cat\u00f3licas, estaban \u201cen armon\u00eda con la Primera Enmienda\u201d.  <\/p>\n

El informe judicial tambi\u00e9n dec\u00eda que el programa de Colorado \u201chizo un gran esfuerzo por ser acogedor e inclusivo con la participaci\u00f3n de los preescolares basados en la fe\u201d. <\/p>\n

Polis afirm\u00f3 que \u201cmuchos proveedores religiosos y seculares est\u00e1n operando preescolares fant\u00e1sticos que sirven bien a los padres y a los ni\u00f1os\u201d y dijo que el programa universal de preescolar inscribe al \u201caproximadamente 70% de todos los ni\u00f1os de 4 a\u00f1os elegibles\u201d. <\/p>\n

El programa tambi\u00e9n excluye al Denver Jewish Day School<\/a>, seg\u00fan el sitio web de la escuela.  <\/p>\n

el El Programa Universal de Preescolar<\/a> otorga fondos de los contribuyentes a las familias de preescolar para hasta 15 horas de preescolar para asistir a preescolares que califiquen. <\/p>\n

\u201cEl popular y gratuito Preescolar Universal de Colorado ahorra a las familias m\u00e1s de $6,000 por a\u00f1o, brinda a los estudiantes un comienzo s\u00f3lido y ha disparado a Colorado del puesto 27 al tercero en inscripci\u00f3n preescolar\u201d, dijo Polis.<\/p>\n

Debido al fallo del tribunal esta semana, las familias que deseen que sus hijos en edad preescolar asistan a los preescolares arquidiocesanos cat\u00f3licos no podr\u00e1n participar en el programa.<\/p>\n
