The phrase is wrong because the target is a certain kind of left-leaning teacher. Not teachers qua teachers. Right-leaning teachers are not being targeted. Teachers who aren’t explicitly “right-leaning”, but who think socially controversial topics are best avoided in the classroom, are not being targeted either. Nor do I think the target includes “contrarian leftist” teachers (the kind of teacher who might admire the African-American Marxist Adolph Reed, who basically says that all these race/sexuality/gender debates have turned into a distraction from the real work of class struggle, and thus serve the interests of the capitalist ruling class)
