A school has come under fire after removing mirrors in their toilets and replacing them with 'motivational' posters.
Christopher Whitehead Language College has put up flyers with quotes like: "Beauty is nothing without brains" and "Dear girls, Make-up is a harmful drug. Once you start using it, you’ll feel ugly without it".
Another poster reads "If all girls started wearing no make-up and comfortable clothes, guys would have no choice but to fall for girls because of natural beauty".
It has been claimed that an external door to the toilets has also been removed at the Worcestershire school.
The picture has been widely shared on social media, prompting many to question the purpose of the changes.
One parent told their local paper Worcester News: “The school has removed all mirrors from the toilets (including the boys), however in the girls' toilets they’ve covered the wall in place of the mirror with ‘inspirational quotes’, however they are far from that.
“The quotes are degrading. This is not the message we want to be sending to extremely impressionable girls as young as 11.
“In the boys' toilets, they’ve blocked off some urinals only leaving two available, as well as removing the door of the toilet completely leaving anyone to be able to look in.”
One person commenting on the picture on social media added that the posters are shaming girls, not praising them.
“How is telling girls they’re going to feel ugly anything but negative, when they see their mothers, sisters and grandmothers wearing make-up?”
The school has been approached for comment.
