The Civil Rights Act of 1964 defined protected classes of people aiming to reduce discrimination by holding employer's responsible. Under Title VII of the Act, an individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin is considered a protected class. Age and pregnancy have also been federally recognized protected classes by subsequent legislation.

Discuss if you believe these protected classes go far enough to prevent discrimination in the workplace. Would you add any additional classes of people, if so who and why?
