She blacked it out, as requested. That fact itself does not bother me, though. People can do as they wish. The universities I've attended have been rather accommodating (if that's the polite word to use), and prefer to avoid conflicts on any sensitive matters. If the teacher has to censor the sex out of a book because it makes a student uncomfortable, so be it.
Personally, though, I don't think all books are proper for people of all ages, or something along those lines. I believe there are fair limits for exposure to 'the real world', but the lines that govern this are evidently quite blurry. I hate blurry lines. I want black and white answers to everything. I think a trigger warning has it's place in areas such as social media, which is where I first noticed them. I don't think they should be applied to art.
