I have never seen one single published book do this. I have never known one single high school or middle school English/Lit class that didn't study SOME material that contained depictions or mentions of violence, rape, abuse, neglect, racism, sexism, foul language, and any number of other horrible things... and students do not get "warned."

In IB (AP) English in high school we read Toni Morrison's "Song of Solomon," except for 5 or 6 kids whose parents signed a waiver, and they read Wurthering Heights instead, and they were sent off to the library during discussion time. A couple of us in one breakout group were talking about them (because 17 year olds are assholes and gossips). Anyway, I knew one of the people wasn't reading because it was "too sexy" and someone else just rolled their eyes at that, because all the "sexy" parts were rape and incest, and the point was that it was horrific and terrible, and yet we weren't given the options for books like Heart of Darkness, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Brave New World...
