Sally Anne comes to work one day with a badly injured knee. It happened when she slipped and fell at home the night before. Her manager says, "gee, I'm sorry about that but you are fired because I don't employ people who have injuries." Is she in a "protected class" and therefore protected from this kind of discrimination?

    Yes.

    Explanation:

    As per the given details, Sally is protected from this kind of discrimination as she is being discriminated against on the basis of her physical ability (due to injuries) because she would not be able to create the desired output as compared to the ones who do not have injuries.

    As per the laws against discrimination at workplace, Sally can sue the manager or the company as it is neither ethical nor lawful to fire an employee due to his/her medical illness or injuries (physical disability) rather the organization must assist her financially to overcome the state soon and get back to her work. Thus, the answer would be 'yes'.
