I agree with a lot of your points above, but the reality is that the book is not being taught in schools because of the one word. Would you rather the book not be taught at all, or taught with "slave" instead of "n*****?" Either are valid choices, but you must understand that *those* are the two choices. There is no option for "teaching the unedited version" - that is not happening.

3) School Administrators stop caving to a loud, but minuscule, minority of parents.
4) Other parents stop being weak-willed wusses (did I get that right?) and start demanding an adequate education for their children; not some watered-down version of the war with Eurasia.
