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

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

3. Grammar….and Nouns
• Definition: A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or
idea.
• Concrete nouns name people, places, or things that you can touch,
see, hear, smell, or taste.
• Examples: Person – man, Mrs. Jones, doctor, Maddie
Place – river, Paris, mountains, home
Thing – dog, book, sports car
4. • Abstract nouns: name ideas or emotions. They are intangible, which
means you cannot touch, see, hear, smell, or taste them.
• Idea – love, intelligence, justice
• Emotion – happiness, anger, excitement
• Hint: Remember, pronouns are not nouns.
5. NUMBER: SINGULAR VS PLURAL
• The basic rule is to add s to make a noun plural.
• There are many irregular nouns that add es.
• Rule: add s to form the plural: cat ⇒ cats
truck ⇒ trucks
book ⇒ books!
• Nouns that end in s, sh, x, ch, or z ; add “es” to form the plural:bus
⇒ buses
brush ⇒ brushes
fox ⇒ foxes
6. IRREGULAR NOUNS
• Irregular nouns form plurals in unusual ways.
Analysis….analyses
Parenthesis….parentheses
child ... children
foot ... Feet
tooth ... teeth
man ... men
Some nouns exist only in the plural
form.
pants, binoculars, shorts, tweezers,
scissors ...
7. COMPOUND NOUNS
• A compound noun is a noun made up of two or more words. Each
word makes up part of the meaning of the noun.
A single word: Haircut
Dropcloth
Two words: Rain forest
Ice cream
Hyphenated: Ice-bag
Brother-in-law
Hot-dog
8. COLLECTIVE NOUNS
• Collective comes from the same root as collection. A collective noun
names a group, like a collection of something:
• team, choir, jury, committee, Army, Hive, Troop, Plague, Audience
9. POSSESSIVE NOUNS
• Possessive comes from the same root as possession, something you
own. Possessive nouns show ownership.
• Rule 1: add 's to words to show possession.
Dog's collar
(dog+'s)
sister's backpack
(sister+'s)
car's engine
(car+'s)
10. CLASSIGYING NOUNS
• Write them apart and categorize between: Abstract, Concrete
Common, Proper, Singular, Plural, Compound, Collective,
Possessive.
• ORANGES, REMOTE CONTROLS, JESSICA’S, EXCITEMENT, FAMILIES,
LION, NOTEBOOK, CURIOSITY, CHICKEN, SWIMMING POOL,
SAILBOATS, MICHAEL’S, CHORES, MYSTERIES, WHITE HOUSE.
11. PRONOUNS
• One day the doctor asked the doctor's assistant for the doctor's
calendar. Then the doctor checked the doctor's calendar to see what
appointments the doctor had that day. Then the doctor returned the
doctor's calendar to the doctor's assistant for the doctor's assistant to
use to schedule the doctor's patients' appointments.
• That doesn't sound like we normally speak. We use pronouns to
replace nouns to avoid unnecessary repetition.
12. • One day the doctor asked her assistant, James, to hand her the
appointment calendar. Then she checked it to see how many
appointments she had that day. After that, she returned the calendar
to James and asked him to use it to schedule her other patients'
appointments.
• That sounds a lot better!!!!!
13. • Pronouns stand in for nouns or replace them. Personal pronouns
replace nouns that refer to people or things.
• number - they are singular or plural
• person - 1st person is the person speaking, 2nd person is the person
being spoken to, 3rd person is the person being spoken about.
• case - their use in the sentence.

• 4-The new radio host is______ . she, her, hers
• 5-Sally and her friend brought _____ empty bags to the recycling
center.

17. REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
• Reflexive sounds like reflection, the image in the mirror that bounces
back at you. A reflexive pronoun reflects back to the subject.
• I saw it myself, Don’t burn yourself, He hurt himself, She did it herself.
The cat scratched itself.
How did he hurt himself?
We really enjoyed ourselves while on holiday.
I blame myself. We painted the house ourselves.

• that (ese/a/o, aquél, aquello/a) SINGULAR
• these (estos/as) PLURAL
• those (esos/as, aquellos/as) PLURAL
• This and that refer to singular objects. These and those refer to plural
objects. This and these refer to objects close to the speaker. That and
those refer to objects far from the speaker.
19. I like this car.
I like that car.
I like these cars.

20. RELATIVE PRONOUNS
• It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that
its relative clause modifies.
• Here is an example:
• The person who phoned me last night is my teacher.
• In the above example, "who":
• relates to "The person", which "who phoned me last night" modifies
• introduces the relative clause "who phoned me last night"
21. • There are five relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that*
• Who (subject) and whom (object) are generally only for people.
Whose is for possession. Which is for things. That can be used for
things and people.
22.
23. INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS
• To interrogate is to ask someone questions. Interrogative pronouns ask
questions.
• who whom whosewhich what
• Who, whom, and whose refer to people. Who is a subject pronoun. Whom
is an object pronoun. Whose is a possessive pronoun.
• Hint: Use who when you would use I; use whom when you would use me.
• Who would like some ice cream? I would like some ice cream.
• Whom did you ask for cookies? You asked me for cookies.
• To whom did you wave? You waved to me.
24. WHO VS WHOM
• Use this he/him method to decide whether who or whom is correct:
