Although I’m not really sure if this image counts as a satirical representation, I just loved the message behind it. It shows a contrast between children from different economical and social classes. While we are worrying too much about giving toys to our kids, even if they are educational like these blocks that spell A-P-P-L-E, in other places there are far more worse concern for our children L
Truly this strip represents a satire of how unsafe are schools today. It compares them to prisons, and even affirms those are safer than schools, criticizing how students of the US have been going to schools armed.

Metro PR
Newspaper in spanish:
Metro PR: If you are an UPR student and your means of transportation consists of trips on the "tren urbano" you have definitely seen this newspaper before. Today, everybody usually has access to the newspapers via smartphones applications or social networks like Facebook. That is a fact and it may be more accesible to people. Although you have access to this newspaper the same way, by having people here give out copies to us, there is a higher chance of the students (the youth) reading it. At least, I tend to read this newspaper from time to time. It is shorter, so less time consuming when you are at the university and it keeps you informed on different topics, which are redacted in a concise manner.
For example, this report Relación sociohistórica la pasión del boricua por el béisbol talks about our social and historical connection to baseball. Carlos Sanchez from the General Studies Faculty at UPR Rio Piedras believes that sport events seem to socially and culturally unite our country more and it functions as a therapeutic escape from our problematic reality because the Puerto Rican community needs joy and happiness. I found it interesting because I remember how much I enjoyed going with my dad and my grandpa to Cangrejeros vs Senadores baseball games as a kid. People really are passionate about sports and usually baseball was very important. Now some of those teams don’t even exist and Puerto Rican baseball is almost a thing of the past. Somehow the passion for this sport has been forgotten and it is something to think about.
