Question:

The borough of Brooklyn, New York, still has a large population of people in their 30s and 40s who identify as "millennial hipsters." These middle-aged people are recognizable for their distinctive dress, eating habits, musical taste, and social and political values. They comprise about 20% of the total population, and thus are in the minority, but they tend to be wealthier and more politically connected than other Brooklynites. The new Brooklyn Borough President, Luke Rosen, is a native non-hipster Brooklynite and openly hates hipsters. He has frequently spoken to the media about how he wishes they would all leave Brooklyn already and move to the suburbs like many of their friends. He says that with their continued insistence on bike lanes and high-end coffee shops, they are ruining the traditional feel and culture of Brooklyn. He even goes so far as to say, during one TV interview: "It's even worse now that they are all breeding. My blood boils each time I see a hipster mom pushing her baby on our sidewalks." Luke Rosen recognizes that there isn't much he can do to get them out of his borough, but he can at least reduce their influence in his local government. And, as it turns out, many millennial hipsters work for the Borough government. Rosen decides to take action by requiring that all Borough of Brooklyn employees be clean shaven, may not park their bicycles in front of the Borough government building, and cannot drink coffee or kombucha while at work. In announcing this policy, Rosen doesn't say anything about hipsters, but instead says the changes are needed for workplace safety, hygiene, discipline, and productivity. A group of outraged millennial hipsters files suit. Some of the plaintiffs currently work for the Brooklyn government, and allege that these conditions are motivated by a bare desire to harm them by making their working conditions unlivable.

Others are not currently employed by the government, but allege that they planned to apply and now cannot do so because of the new conditions, which are motivated only by Rosen's irrational prejudice against them. Is their lawsuit likely to prevail?
