Even today I still feel that it was wrong of that teacher to make such a book an obligatory read. Not everybody is partial to that kind of content. (I'm not, to be honest.)

Gosh, that makes me glad to have gone to a private (Christian) school! Sure, I missed assigned reading of a lot of the good classics, which I am catching up on now, but at least I can choose to opt out!
