Hot For Teacher

A Michigan college student is crying foul after he was kicked off campus for writing a sexually suggestive journal entry about his teacher for a class assignment.  Joseph Corlett, a 56-year-old countertop refinisher who is pursuing a degree in writing and rhetoric at Oakland University, wrote the essay as a part of a creative writing journal assignment in a writing course.  In his essay, which he said was inspired by the 1984 Van Halen hit "Hot for Teacher," he wrote about his first impressions of his professor, Pamela Mitzelfeld, describing her as "tall, blonde, stacked, smart, articulate."  Corlett said he was under the impression that there were no restrictions on what he could write about in his journal.  "The real issue is the First Amendment," Corlett said. "It's about academic freedom and about due process. These are the real issues of the case, and the sooner we can get past the titillation of it and see those issues, the better." Full Story here

I love the "titillation" comment by this guy.  He's even sexually suggestive when he speaks. After getting kicked out and banned from campus he's still dropping sexual innuendos and preaching 1st Amendment rights.   The balls on this Joseph Corlett, calling his professor "stacked." I envy him.  As an English major (awful decision), I can't help but side with him because all English professors are so fucking vague when it comes to writing.  I'm like him, if I don't have clear instructions, I'm going to take some bullshit and just run with it for days.  Being an English major may help you see through bullshit but it also molds you into a professional bullshitter.  Anyways, was this guy's approach a bit creepy? Yeah, of course.  He clearly is not skilled in the art of seducing professors.  But, was it creative?  Hell yeah it was, how often does Van Halen appear in ANY English class?  Also, why not try to bang the professor?  That's an easy A.  And if I'm not mistaken, this was a creative writing class. So, bravo Joe, you get an A from me for creativity.

Here are the actual journal entries....

and the song that inspired it all.

Ow! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!
