While being true to yourself and your own personal beliefs is important to the classroom, there will always have to be a line between having your beliefs in the classroom and imposing your beliefs in the classroom. Trying to force a student to see something your way, just because it's your belief is unacceptable.
Despite this, being true to yourself is very important. If some sort of injustice is happening in your classroom, and it's in your nature to stop it, then you would be true to yourself if you did. You would be authentic. On the contrary, if you decided not to stop it from happening, then you would be unauthentic.
