Many state and/or local governments have expanded protections against discrimination

As was mentioned in the overview for this module, many state and/or local governments have expanded protections against discrimination (so even if one has not violated any federal statute, it is possible that one has violated either/both a state anti-discrimination statute and/or a local government ordinance. These are frequently an expansion to cover some additional classification(s) of individuals beyond those covered by Title VII (i.e., race, color, religion, etc.). Find a state or local law (i.e., it need not be the state/city/locale in which you reside, or are stationed/work) that provides such expanded protection.

Provide both the URL and the citation, together with the actual language therein which extends the protected coverage prohibiting discrimination. Finally, provide your opinion on whether you think the classification(s) which were add ed have gone too far. Or should be expand ed even farther (and how so), together with the rationale for your position.
