You're assuming that your special case of 'classical liberal' outweighs centuries of common usage to the point that it's incorrect to use the word in any other way.
The first entry in Merriam Webster for 'classical' is "of or relating to the ancient Greek and Roman world and especially to its literature, art, architecture, or ideals" so it's more than a little dodgy to say that it would be wrong to group Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Homer, Virgil, etc. under the heading 'classically liberal education' especially as 'liberal', in the context of education, means "based on the liberal arts and intended to bring about the improvement, discipline, or free development of the mind or spirit." It needn't be restricted to the political ideology of the same name.
I'm not saying it would be wrong to categorize things your way, just that it wouldn't be wrong to do it the way you imply is wrong, either.
