A truly educated populace is one that can take its leaders to task when they offer absurdities, can form arguments to disrobe injustice, and can instill respect in its children for many different cultures. Such a society would be multicultural and multilingual, it would value humanity over property, and culture over development. In the words of Mexican poet Jaime Sabines, Otros saben las palabras del canto, nosotros cantamos. "Others know the word of the song, but we sing." Throughout Latin America, these songs are being heard.
