I don’t care how long the suspension is, there is no way I am going to hold the guys hand I just punched out.

These two students at Westwood High in Mesa were given the option to hold hands instead of being suspended after trying to beat the living crap out of each other. Rather than go on a nice nine day vacation, they chose to be laughed at and called names by other students while gingerly holding each others soft hands.

A picture of the teenagers hiding their faces was posted to Facebook where several comments criticized the punishment saying it was inappropriate.

One person commented, saying it encourages bullying because the kids were targeted for taunting and name-calling.

A few others went as far as to say it sent a negative message to gay students because it portrayed hand-holding by two males to be embarrassing.

They should have just chosen the old fashioned way of being punished.
