California has been infected with the “self-esteem” virus for decades. In 1986, then Governor George Deukmejian signed into law the creation of a State Self-Esteem Task Force. Even the far-left comic, Doonesbury, found this a bridge too far and mined it for comedy gold for a few weeks.

Another outbreak of esteemus extremis was spotted at Laguna Hills High School

A high school in California has done away with mirrors in its girls’ bathroom and substituted signs of affirmation.

Laguna Hills High School students look at signs that say things like, “You are beautiful” and “You are enough,” instead of looking at their reflections.

On the other hand, school-aged boys are falling behind girls in all measures. No word what Laguna Hills High School did to encourage them with messages of “self-affirmation.”
