A student kicked out of school after writing an essay titled 'Hot for Teacher' is suing Oakland University.

The 'hot for teacher' lawsuit is asking for $2.2 million in damages.

The student is compensation, claiming the school violated his rights to free speech and freedom of expression.

The student, 57-year-old Joseph Corlett, now lives in Sarasota, Florida.

The 'hot for teacher' student writer filed the lawsuit on Friday, March 15 in U.S. District Court against Oakland University's Board of Trustees, President Gary Russi and Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Mary Beth Snyder, according to the Detroit Free Press.

"In the end, he just ended up getting suspended from school for completing a homework assignment," commented Corlett's lawyer Alari Adams.

Corlett claims he was unfairly kicked out of school after writing the 'Hot for Teacher' essay in 2011 while enrolled in English 380: Advanced Critical Writing.

He named the essay after the 1984 Van Halen song that features a student's lust for his teacher.

Corlett said the essay, directed towards course instructor Pamela Mitzelfeld, was a "whimsical exaggeration" of his attraction towards her.

Corlett, in the composition, compared the female instructor to Ginger, a sultry movie starlet character from "Gilligan's Island."

He feared being distracted during the class, writing, "I'll never learn a thing."

The teacher informed the Oakland dean after reading the piece. Officials said Corlett's writings violated a policy against intimation or harassment, and banned him for three terms, according to the Associated Press.

Corlett maintains that his civil rights were violated. "When you get past the titillation, you've got to look into what's really going on here. It's academic freedom or no academic freedom. We're all collectively dumbed when speech is suppressed or challenged."

Corlett said that students in the class were told to write "raw things, a personal diary that maybe we wouldn't want anyone to read."

He said that he had been an A student prior to this essay, including an essay about accidentally seeing a woman's breasts.

Corlett said, "There is no constitutional protection against being offended. And while I am sympathetic to anyone's feelings, I repeatedly asked for instruction. I was repeatedly told there were no topics that were out of bounds."

The university said that he must undergo counseling if he wants to return to Oakland University as a student.

Two police officers escorted Corlett from the writing class after an Oakland administrator forgot to tell him that he was barred from attending class while his case was under review.

Oakland spokesman David Groves told the AP that the school doesn't comment on lawsuits.

The 2.2 million dollars is being sought for mental anguish and embarrassment from being kicked out of school.
