Question

Which of the following classifications is currently not a

protected party under the federal law Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended?

a. Sexual Orientation
b. Religion
c. Dismantlle

Answer 1

The answer is a. Sexual Orientation.

Explain:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Sexual orientation is not a protected category under Title VII.

The other two options, religion and disability, are protected categories under Title VII. Religion is protected under the "Creed" provision of Title VII, and disability is protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which is incorporated into Title VII.

Answer 2

The class not protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is 'C. Dismantlle,' which is not a recognized classification. Title VII does protect against discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The classification currently not protected under the federal law Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, is 'C. Dismantlle,' which appears to be a typographical error. Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.

In 2020, the Supreme Court ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia clarified that Title VII's prohibition against discrimination based on sex also includes discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This made it illegal to fire someone based on their status as a member of the LGBTQ community. Additionally, President Obama had already protected federal civilian employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and issues related to federal security clearance.

However, 'Dismantlle' is not a recognized classification and therefore, is not a protected class under Title VII or any other federal nondiscrimination law that is currently in force.
