ABSTRACT
Sometimes we don’t want to know that we don’t want to know something. And yet, we may know it. Sartre called this bad faith, lying to oneself. We act as if we have no choice, but, in actuality, we do. A common example is the idea of the hidden curriculum. We teach in a manner that might make us uneasy, if only we would admit to ourselves that what we do contributes to oppressive or repressive structures of the curriculum that we enact in our practices. The premise of the hidden curriculum is that we have been blinded by the prevailing ideology of our profession, our social class, or our culture.
