    I agree with your intended message, but this is a really weird way to say it.

    If I was a teacher at an elementary school intentionally teaching children that addition is actually subtraction, I would be fired to teaching children “wrong” ideas.

      Forcing teachers spread propaganda and erasing history is quite different than having an incompetent teacher.

      Not really. Wrong here has multiple meanings that are being conflated. You’re talking about wrong meaning factually incorrect while it’s being used to mean not the propagandist’s preferred idea. Yeah, you’d be fired for teaching something factually incorrect. But that’s not the same thing as being fired for not teaching the propaganda the state wants to push.
