the problem remains that dominant society is still telling all the stories from only their own perspective which comes from a place of status and privilege. we desperately need to listen to other voices telling their own stories. we need to not let dominant society take over every aspect of what songs we hear and how they are sung.
Plato said that Socrates said:
To put it briefly, those in charge must cling to education and see that it isn't corrupted without their noticing it, guarding it against everything. Above all, they must guard as carefully as they can against any innovation in music and poetry or in physical training that is counter to the established order.
- The Republic, Book III, 424b
