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
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Nature of the Work
• 75% of students with disabilities spend the majority of their school day in general education
classrooms.
• A small number of special education teachers work with students with a variety of
disabilities with severe cognitive, emotional, or physical disabilities, primarily teaching them
life skills and basic literacy.
• Special education teachers design and teach appropriate curricula, assign work geared
toward each student's needs and abilities, and grade papers and homework assignments.
• They are involved in the student’s behavioral, social, and academic development, helping
them develop emotionally and interact effectively in social situations.
• Preparing special education students for daily life after graduation also is an important
aspect of the job. Teachers provide students with career counseling or help them learn life
skills, such as balancing a checkbook.
• Working with students with special needs may require more “paperwork” from you but if
every child deserves a equal opportunity education.
4. SixSteps To Finding a Solution
• Step 1: Collect child and family information. Begin the discussion about the child’s strengths, abilities,
preferences and needs. What strategies have been found to work best?
• Step 2: Identify activities for participation. Discuss the various activities within the environments that a
child encounters throughout the day. What is preventing him/her from participating more?
• Step 3: What can be observed that indicates the intervention is successful? What is his/her current
level of participation and what observable behaviors will reflect an increase in independent
interactions? What changes (e.g., number of initiations, expression attempts, responses, reactions,
etc.) will you look for?
• Step 4: Brainstorm AT solutions. With the activity and desired outcomes established, you are now
ready to discuss possible solutions with educators, family members, physical therapist, and other
people with whom the child interacts on a weekly basis. Do the child’s needs include supports for
movement, communication and/or use of materials? Start with what is available in the environment
(what other children use) and consider adaptations to those materials. A range of options that address
specific support areas should be considered.
• Step 5: Try it out. Determine when the AT intervention will begin and create an observation plan to
record how the child participates with the AT supports.
• Step 6: Identify what worked. Selecting AT interventions is a continuous learning opportunity. Reflect
on your plan and discuss what worked. What didn’t work? What should be done differently? Make
5. • Inclusion-Inclusion is an educational approach and
philosophy that provides all students with community
membership and greater opportunities for academic
and social achievement. Inclusion is about making
sure that each and every student feels welcome and
that their unique needs and learning styles are
attended to and valued.
Key Phrases • Least restrictive environment-To the maximum
extent appropriate, children with disabilities, including
children in public or private institutions or other care
facilities, are educated with children who are not
disabled, and special classes, separate schooling, or
other removal of children with disabilities from the
regular educational environment occurs only when the
nature or severity of the disability of a child is such that
education in regular classes with the use of
supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved
satisfactorily.
• Individualized Educational Plan (IEP)- an
individualized plan for a student with disabilities that
describes the measures teachers must take to
accommodate the learning needs of the student.
• Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) -
is a federal law enacted in 1990 and reauthorized in
1997 and 2004. It is designed to protect the rights of
students with disabilities by ensuring that everyone
receives a free appropriate public education (FAPE),
regardless of ability.
• Mainstream- in the context of education is a term that
refers to the practice of educating students with special
needs in regular classes during specific time periods
based on their skills.
6. Assistive Technology
• Assistive technology or adaptive technology (AT) is an umbrella term that includes
assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and also
includes the process used in selecting, locating, and using them.
• AT promotes greater independence by enabling people to perform tasks that they
were formerly unable to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by
providing enhancements to, or changing methods of interacting with, the
technology needed to accomplish such tasks.
• Assistive technology tools can be classified along a continuum that moves from
devices that are considered “low tech,” to tools and devices that are more complex
or “high tech.
7. Categories of
Assistive Technology
• Vision - Products designed to assist with vision
• Hearing - Products designed to assist with hearing
• Speech communication - Products designed to assist with speaking and face-to-face communication
for individuals with speech disabilities.
• Learning, cognition, and developmental - Products to provide people with disabilities with access to
educational materials and instruction in school or other environments; products that assist with
learning, and cognition.
• Mobility, seating, and positioning – Products whose main focus is on augmenting or replacing the
functional limitations of an individual’s mobility.
• Computers and related - Hardware and software products that enable people with disabilities to
access, interact with, and use computers at home, work, or school. Includes modified or alternate
keyboards, switches activated by pressure, touch screens, special software, voice to text software.

9. Instructional Practice
to Meet Students Individual Needs
Differentiated Instruction
• Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet individual needs.
• Examples of differentiating content at the elementary level include the
following:
• Using reading materials at varying readability levels;
• Putting text materials on tape;
• Using spelling or vocabulary lists at readiness levels of students;
• Presenting ideas through both auditory and visual means;
• Using reading buddies; and
• Meeting with small groups to re-teach an idea or skill for struggling learners, or to
extend the thinking or skills of advanced learners.
