Today, teachers from college to middle school are using Hip-Hop as an effective teaching tool in the classroom. Rap music and the cultural phenomenon dubbed Hip-Hop have catapulted youth life styles onto a global stage. With humble beginnings in the Bronx, New York City in the early 1970s, urban youth have been at the center of each of Hip-Hop’s events: deejaying, graffiti, break dancing and emceeing (rap). A few years ago, Afrika Bambaataa, a seminal figure in Hip-Hop, added a fifth element, knowledge of self and culture. With over 30 years of history, Bambaataa recognized the need for true aficionados to know and understand the roots of Hip-Hop. This presentation will introduce the history of Hip-Hop and discuss way to employ Hip-Hop in the classroom to promote learning, enhance cultural understanding and increase student engagement.

Course Description
This course is designed to help prepare you for academic reading and writing. Through activities
that emphasize both collaborative, process-oriented learning as well as individual, self-motivated
learning, you will be introduced to the following three skills:
Critical Reading This course is reading-heavy. You will read multiple essays nearly every
week. Some essays will be challenging to grasp, but thoughtful writing
begins with thoughtful reading.
Critical Writing This course is also writing-heavy. Like any craft, strong writing is produced
through rigorous practice. You will write every week, sometimes formally
and sometimes informally, through discussion board posts, journal entries,
and essays.
Critical Thinking By focusing on reading and writing, this course is centered around critical
thought. Whether you are responding to an assigned reading, responding to
a fellow student, or articulating your own argument, the depth of your
thought will weigh heavily on your grade.
Course Values
Empathy Always consider other points of view, whether that be from an author or a
classmate.
Honesty Read and write honestly: questioning, challenging, and developing
your own worldview.
Community This course is a digital community. Play your part by posting
meaningful contributions to discussion board conversations.
Close Reading Read meticulously. Move to generalizations only after you have
lingered over the intricate details of a text.
Clarity Support your claims with evidence, organize your thoughts effectively, and
utilize proper punctuation to write concise, legible prose.
Rhetoric Always keep in mind your audience, your purpose, and your overall
rhetorical situation.

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides an overview of various world religious traditions in their historical and cultural developments. As such it satisfies the S5 general education requirements for comparative cultural studies/gender, race, class, ethnicity studies.
The Purpose of this course is to introduce students to the diversity and complexity of the religious phenomenon in our pluralistic Global village. This is a study of selected major world religions with emphasis on the historic international faiths of Asia and the Near East. We will investigate rituals, ethics, institutional structures and the cultural ethos of religions as well as their myths, doctrines and sacred texts.
Given that it fulfills a General Education requirement in the Humanities, this course is taught in a perspective that takes into account the current context of our pluralistic, multicultural and democratic societies.
Although we will focus on the major world religions of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, we will also briefly address other forms of spirituality, mainly the ancestral spiritual ways of cosmotheandric religions which predate the current dominant religions and influenced them in a variety of ways.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
