If we were talking about 8th grade, then I'd be inclined to agree a little more (although not sure if I would completely agree).

With the spread of internet access and kids knowing how to circumvent just about any type of filter, it's ridiculous that someone would make an issue out of this book.

Also, American attitudes about sex in general are very prudish and ridiculous.

Eh. I get what your saying. I was getting BJ's at that age too, but like others have said, just because you weren't sheltered doesn't mean others weren't. I agree that most kids are familiar with sexually explicit content, but that doesn't mean that their parents want to push more of it on them.

My stance on it:

It's explicit but not overly explicit. If the book doesn't have a particularly important message, or if that message can be covered in another way, then it's really not necessary. I'm willing to bet there's plenty of other books out there regarding bullying that don't have a page dedicated to some forceful ****ing and cum stains.

This book doesn't sound like something that should be required. So if it's not required, then why bother rocking the craddle and pissing people off? If parents don't want to further expose their teen daughters to 50 Shades of Grey, then why do it? What makes this book worth fighting for to keep it in the curriculum?
