From an educational administrative standpoint, the problem is that it's required reading. If I were to assign something of that nature, even to high school seniors, I'd send home a note letting them know that the work would have some mature content and an alternate assignment would be available for the student. This is what we have to do anytime we show R rated movies in our classes (such as V for Vendetta).
