One of the minor goals to confront and/or resolve the issue would be making the banned books available to the districts in Arizona, this can be made possible by viewing the books online. Even though most ethnic studies books were banned students will still have access to them online. This will keep the books alive in class and somewhat still alive in history.  Another minor goal would be possibly offering or opening up an ethnic studies club or program after school. The program does not necessarily have to take place on school property, but they could meet at a public library or a nearby park. The community could still keep ethnic studies alive outside of school and this would not interfere with the bill. 

Define major goals to confront, challenge, and resolve the issue:

Several major goals in confronting the issues with House Bill 2281 are to bring awareness to the community and the U.S population. In addition, becoming adamant in the fight against unwarranted actions from people like State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne is also very important, for if we don’t show perseverance politicians will have control over what is taught in schools instead of those who understand true education. Furthermore, as infuriating as certain presumptions from certain people may be, we must try to take the higher non-violent path towards justification. For example, rallying together in marches, making our voices heard through social media, participating in fundraisers, and signing petitions against HB 2281 are great ways to challenge the bill without threatening or discouraging the opposition.

As of right now litigation has been going on to keep the ethnic studies program and resolve the issue however there are other ways of helping such as donating to sustain the legal fight, joining or creating activists groups like the Tucson Banned Books Reading Group, and remember that even though the Ethnic Studies program is temporarily gone, they can’t stop students’ determination to learn about their history.
