Ms. Melling may have found the choices ‘difficult’, but others do not. From the same link:

Emphasis added.

And whether Ms. Melling found the choices difficult or not, she came to the same conclusion (that it’s illegal discrimination). I don’t know what the hell is wrong with the editors of the LA Times.

Nothing needs to be wrong with them IMO. It’s not that clear cut legally or morally. Differing rights are in conflict, and that should never be taken as a given or lightly. The ACLU sees the conflict, the judge sees it, the Times falls in that span, with a legit worry about compelled intellectual content.
