Problem is most parents freak out. I was in an advanced Lit class and was introduced to Heinlein, Vonnegut, niven, EE Smith, and Ben Bova as writers and the sex scenes and outright violence in some of the books would have the moronic prude parents today suing everyone in sight for every reason.
In High School in 1964, my Senior English Literature class was instructed to read a passage in a Shakespeare play silently. Why? Because it contained the word "breast". I thought that was a bit much. Teachers then had the same issues to deal with.
