Is this right?
Not being ironic is being ironic in the Morissette sense, but not being ironic is not "being ironic in the Morissette sense".
Using incorrect examples of irony on purpose is being ironic in the Morissette sense, unless you believe that she was accidently incorrect in her examples of irony. However, if you do think that she used the term incorrectly, and yet you use her examples of irony, then you are being correctly ironic, but only if you are pointing out someone else's misuse of irony.
I think. I could be wrong.
Is it ironic that an English teacher could be giving incorrect examples of what he think is irony?
