My question would have been - WHO put this thought into that 9th grader to begin with?

In the 9th grade, I would never have thought of HOMOSEXUAL RAPE.

We don't know the exact statement of the kid for sure so the homosexual intent is not clear. In Europe we had a very direct comments on what happened in Abu Ghraib prison in the news. That kind of things had happened in an US prison why not during a capture in Somalia?

Nothing was mentioned about how the teachers prepared the students for the meeting. If they don't you can blame them. If they did and told the kids not to ask questions in a specific direction then a punishment is appropriate.
