While Rockville High School in Maryland is dealing with a backlash against illegal immigrants sheltered within the district after a horrifying rape in a school restroom, ABC News reports that a California school is tackling a very different problem in the girls’ restroom at Laguna Hills High School: self-esteem.
The project was the idea of a member of the school’s Kindness Club and involved plastering messages such as, “You are beautiful” and “You are enough,” in the school bathroom. The signs even cover the mirrors, so that girls see messages of positivity rather than their reflections.

They're going to need it after being mocked for having lipstick on their face that they didn't notice because THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MIRRORS.

“The signs have helped people remember that everyone is beautiful, everyone is important, everyone is good enough, and everyone should be treated equally,” said Sabrina Astle, 17. “I did this because I am passionate about the fact that everyone is important and everyone needs to be cared for.”
That affirmation will work great when you have something in your teeth. https://t.co/s4gfwTcm21

Yet another scheme to disconnect them even more from realty.

Because mirrors are nihilistic tools of oppression & serve no functional purpose other than plastic judgement, just like logic in feminists

What about a teenager's fundamental right to take ridiculous bathroom mirror selfies?

Every girl will be carrying her own mirror, unless they outlaw that too. ??♀️
