What is another word for turns a blind eye?
Pronunciation: [tˈɜːnz ɐ blˈa͡ɪnd ˈa͡ɪ] (IPA) 
When someone says "turns a blind eye," it means they are deliberately ignoring something, often something they shouldn't be. However, there are several different phrases you can use to convey the same idea. For example, you could say someone is "looking the other way," which implies they're aware of something but refusing to acknowledge it. Alternatively, "ignoring the elephant in the room" gets at the same sense of something important being deliberately avoided. And "burying one's head in the sand" suggests willful ignorance, acting as though nothing is happening or being said. Each of these phrases ultimately conveys the same idea of someone not wanting to address an issue head-on.
