The HN guidelines ask you to please use the original title unless it is misleading or linkbait. Your rewritten title was arguably more misleading and more linkbaity. That's exactly the opposite of what we're looking for.
We don't let people use submission titles to editorialize. If you have a point to argue, such as that a law effectively makes ex-cons unemployable, you should argue it by commenting in the thread, where everyone is on a level playing field. Otherwise the submitter of a story would get to frame it for everyone else, a huge undue influence over the discussion.
