California high school replaces girls’ bathroom mirrors with ‘notes of affirmation’
The College Fix ^ | April 5, 2017 | Staff

Based on a brainchild of one its students, Laguna Hills High School officials had the mirrors taken out of the school’s girls’ bathrooms … and replaced with notes of “affirmation.”

The notes include little sayings such as “You are important” and “You are loved.”

Sabrina Astle, a member of the school “Kindness Club,” said she came up with the idea because she wanted to “make a difference.”

“The signs have helped people remember that everyone is beautiful, everyone is important, everyone is good enough and everyone should be treated equally. I did this because I am passionate about the fact that everyone is important and everyone needs to be cared for.”

That everyone has spinach stuck in their teeth, that everyone left their pants unzippied. That everyone has TP stuck to their shoe. And on and on and on...

So if you need to fix your hair or make you are cleaned up after having a nosebleed, you are going to use some $%^#^@ signs!?

Mirror in the Bathroom - The English Beat

Mirror in the bathroom
Please talk free
The door is locked
Just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant
That’s got glass tables
You can watch yourself
While you are eating

Mirror in the bathroom
I just can’t stop it
Every Saturday you see me
Window shopping
Find no interest in the
Racks and shelves
Just a thousand reflections
Of my own sweet self, self, self

Mirror in the bathroom
You’re my mirror in the bathroom
You’re my mirror in the bathroom
You’re my mirror in the bathroom

Mirror in the bathroom
Recompense
For all my crimes
Of self defense
Cures you wiser
Make no sense
Drift gently into
Mental illness
Mirror in the bathroom

So many targets in a short article.

Shouldn’t they just be glad they aren’t raped by 19 year old illegal aliens?

Kindness club?

“Making a difference” means making it less convenient for others.

I remember seeing a report ranking US children and other nations’ children on their science and math achievement

US students finished dead last. Koreans were first.

But they were also given a question: “how do you rank yourself in aptitude and achievement?” US students ranked themselves first - and the Korean kids ranked themselves near the bottom.

Affirmations..

Your butt only looks half as bad as you think it does.
Your class wont complain about your lack of bathing.
It’s OK, getting pregnant in high school and being dependent on welfare can be a great thing.
Love your half dyed hair. Blue is your color
Your butt only looks half as big as you think it does.
If the acne gets too bad you can just put on a frumpy pantsuit and wear a Hillary mask.
Claiming Uber drivers tried to rape you can get you out of a lot of payments.
Trust those liberal teachers that have been putting their hands all over you.
Feeling good is the most important thing in life, not education.

“You have terrible bed head. “
“There is a smear of copy toner on your left ear.”
“Is that spinach in your teeth, or are you the child of Seymour and Audrey II?”
“You have toothpaste on the corner of your mouth, unless your boyfriend just left”

If it doesn’t say these things the other students will.
How affirming.

Based on the assumption that teenage girls are so filled with self-loathing that they can’t stand to look at themselves in the mirror, or that they immediately start criticizing themselves when they look in the mirror. Get a life.

At 7’ 3” and a lacrosse player none of the other girls are going to complain out of fear of what could happen to them.

At 7’ 3” is she really a he?

Sat in the corner....

Now we gotta add lyrics to S & G song...sounds of silence...

And the words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls,tenement halls,
near bathroom stalls...
