Is a toned down "Rent" too risque for high schools?

Though I spend a bunch of my time looking through articles, a friend of mine sent me this New York Times piece on how a toned-down version of Rent is considered as too much by some high schools, particularly because of it's accepted behavior on homosexuality as well as it's highlights on drugs and H.I.V

"[Ron Martin, the theater teacher and director here at Corona del Mar High School] said his principal, Fal Asrani, had objected to the show because of its treatment of “prostitution and homosexuality.” “When I heard that, I stopped her and looked her in the eye and said, ‘First, there is no prostitution in ‘Rent,’ and second, homosexuality is not wrong,’ ” Mr. Martin said. “She made no comment. It was the most demoralizing, disappointing moment in my career as a teacher.”
