Algunos titulares e historias causan preocupación y alarma
Algunos titulares e historias me causan preocupación. Por ejemplo, la semana pasada me enteré del caso de una maestra a quien se le negó el ingreso al país, a pesar de que llegaba con una beca para estudiar en una universidad. Las autoridades de inmigración consideraron que la docente care…

¿Castigaremos a los niños por la inconducta de sus padres?
¿Castigaremos a los niños por la inconducta de sus padres? ¿Los dejaremos sin ayuda en caso de un desastre natural porque quizá en el pasado sus padres no cumplieron con las leyes vigentes? La pregunta parece imprudente y hasta fuera de lugar en el contexto de una ciudad avanzada del siglo …
