Supreme Court considers whether a state's preschool funding rules are discriminatory

The high court's conservatives say states need not fund private schools but if they do, they may not discriminate against some based on religion.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the Supreme Court and the question of whether state preschool funding rules can treat Catholic schools differently. Fox News is more explicit about “support for Catholic preschools” and says the conservative majority signaled backing for their religious-liberty claim, while the Los Angeles Times frames the issue more broadly as whether the rules are discriminatory. The Times alone emphasizes the conservative justices’ distinction that states need not fund private schools at all, but may not discriminate on religion if they do.
