God sent three angles to Israel, one being himself, and they were disguised as men. God sent the other two angels to Sodom and Gomorrah to witness the evil in the city while God met with Abraham to tell Abraham that he was going to destroy the city. Abraham compromised with God that if the angels found ten righteous people in the city then God would not destroy it. The two angels arrived in Sodom and were taken care of by Abraham's nephew, Lot. All the men in the city surrounded Lot's house asking for the two men so they could have sex with the, but Lot offered his two virgin daughters to the men instead which made the men angry, so they attacked his house. The angels, though, blinded the men and fled the city with Lot and his family, warning them that they must leave for God is going to destroy their city. Lot's daughter's fiancés objected and stayed where they were destroyed, and Lot's wife, though she was told not to, looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. God rained down sulfur, destroying the entirety of the city.
Unfair punishment is a tricky thing because the punishment may not have the most desired effect. Clearly, there is major controversy in the punishments given by law and policy, but there is also quite a lot of debate about punishment in schools. There is question about wether certain punishments given to students is an effective punishment. Suspension of students is of the most concern. Is being told not to go to school truly effective? Sure, the student has makeup work, but what else can they do for school? Are they learning from this punishment? It doesn't seem like there is anything to learn besides disappointment and humiliation since everyone else probably knows you were suspended. I think it would be much more effective if you had the student go to school or have them do something pertaining to school like community service. I'm not quite sure how the whole punishment system works for a student since I have never been severely reprimanded, but I think it's more logical if you make the student work as their punishment.
