Protected classes: What do Americans know and not know?

 WOOOO!

I'm teaching I/O again in the Fall, so I decided to dust off the ol' I/O blog.

I found some data from YouGov America about protected classes, and whether or not Americans are aware of their status.

It never occurred to me to introduce this topic via a guessing game. Still, in the Fall, I may ask my students which they think are protected and which they do not think are protected, compare their data to Americans, and then tell them which are protected. 

There is also data about which classes Americans *think* should or should no be protected. I, personally, wouldn't touch with a 10-foot poll, but maybe you could?
