Summary:	If critical autoethnographers identify and attempt to remedy personal/cultural offenses, then they should also discuss how to live with individuals— themselves included—who have been complicit in and/or committed these offenses.

I then offer three brief critical autoethnographies, each of which illustrates offenses I have experienced in educational contexts.
