You're entitled to your opinions but "subtly hinting" them while in a position such as yours makes me side-eye you.

Why?

Can't really agree. Most people have biases (a lot that they aren't aware of) and might do something similar without realising it, and yet we all survived.

Eh, all my English teachers "subtly" pushed their own agendas. We saw right through them, and I'm sure OP's students do as well.

...why? Literature can be interpreted so many ways, that's why we have classes for it. And pushing students to consider various possibilities is part of the process.

Why?

I've had teachers and professors outright state things about literature that I didn't agree with (though I don't actually have an opinion either way about this). As long as they aren't grading students down for not having the same interpretation (or grading students up for having the same interpretation), it's fine. Every reader should have their own interpretation of what they have read, whether it agrees with popular opinion or not. And, as a student, finding where you agree and disagree with others about meanings in text can be an important part of the learning process and help refine your own opinions and interpretations.

As a teacher, I can tell you that the really biased and dangerous teachers are the ones who claim to be objective. There's nothing wrong with subtly or overtly hinting an interpretation of a text in English class, as long as you're not penalizing students for disagreeing with it.
