I wish we had a response from the sick teacher or a coherent
response from the lawyers. 
I like it as a campaign, or as a drive-in movie: 
High School Inquisition. 
1958, directed by Jack Arnold
Starring Mamie Van Doren and Glen Ford. With Robert Mitchum
as Mr. Richter. 
Music by Screaming Jay Hawkins. 
	Unusually twisted for a teen exploitation flick, this hinky
rock & roll hot-rod horror epic pits sympathetic high school
teachers against a sultry, malevolent coven of high voltage
hellcats. Sparks fly when the frightened school board sends
in an assistant dean with a curious specialization. . .
Evocative, disturbing camera work and deliberate defiance of
the genre's conceits make this raw, obscure piece of 50s
marginalia a film not to be missed.
