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.”

No grooming required...

Who cares if that bugger remains on your cheek...
Who cares if your nose is bleeding...
Who cares if you have something in your eye...
Who cares if you were just beaten up in the hallway...

You look okay to us girls!

Unless all the other girls in her lacrosse pictures are also giraffes (it’s possible), it’s likely a typo.

Girls BR story

The girls had been blotting their lipstick on the bathroom mirrors and the janitors were having a rough time cleaning the glass.

They had the principal call a ‘committee’ to meet in the BR to discuss the problem.

They were gathered there and a female janitor used the stall.
The lead janitor waited till the lady was finished, (no flush)and took his long handled squeegie and dipped it in the recently used bowl and started scrubbing the mirror.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

I would hope not. This isn’t all about vanity. It’s common decency too.

Put the damn mirrors back up and teach the kids how to handle reality.

Check out the roster - 2 seven footers and five others who are over six feet. If that girls’ team only has a 4-10 record, imagine what the other teams look like. I think there must be some jokers putting together the stats.

Deteriorata - National Lampoon

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
and despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

Remember The Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you -
That lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore. It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Ken.
Take heart in the bedeepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
And reflect that whatever fortune may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.
Give up!

Out of high school now, but charged Wednesday with murder for the deaths of three highschool or just-out partners in an armed home invasion robbery in Oklahoma:

“You are important” and “You are loved.” *You look so cute in your orange jumpsuit*And the now-relevant *You are about to spend as long a period behind bars as you've been alive....*

But her crime buddies won't be whispering those sweet words in her ear:

yep guarantee it will be a girl overweight, ugly, and desperately would love to look better, but is too lazy to put effort in, or just hasn’t got it, and so she thinks of this stupid idea.
Liberals.
You like to think people are equal, but they clearly are not so lets make everyone think they are equal, by bringing up the idiots, ugly, and fat whilst bringing down the slim, beautiful, and great .

I’m expecting some stupid kid that is 50 pounds overweight came up with this.

That might constitute a majority of today's high school kids.

She's quite attractive.

However, her mindset is, save for any bomb plots so far, of the Bernardine Dohrn variety.

What about the mirrors in the boys’ restrooms? A bit discriminatory there, lil missy.

This woman is sick and tired off all this women’s rights and mentoring to girls hoo-ha. It’s a slap in our faces. Susan Rice just got back from talking to girls through a program that’s supposed to make them feel worthy. Worthy? Who said females aren’t worthy? And womyn’s studies? Does society not need men’s studies? It’s disgusting. I’ve yet to find any rights that I’m missing out on.

Sabrina needs to get back to her safe space and take her feel good notes with her.
