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.

Tslcd ch. 2
1. Teaching Student with
Language and
Communication Disabilities
by S. Jay Kuder
Chapter 2: The Elements of
Language
2. Chapter Goals:
After reading this chapter students should be able to:
1. Describe the basic elements of language.
2. Understand the terms “phoneme” and
“morpheme” and how they differ from each
other.
3. Understand the rules that underlie syntax.
4. Understand some of the challenges in
developing rules for semantics.
5. Understand the concept of pragmatics and its
application in communication.
3. Phonology: one PART of language
Approximately 44 “sounds” in English
PHONEME
Smallest unit of sound which can “signal” a
difference in meaning
4. What is phonology?
Study of the “sound system” of language
RULES for sounds and how they can be
arranged
5. International Phonetic Alphabet
As an example, the last name of actor
Jake Gyllenhaal, written ˈdʒɪlənhɔːl in the
IPA, might be written jĭl′·ən·hôl or jil
-ən-hawl in a phonemic system, and Jill-
in-hall in a non-phonemic system.
(Wikipedia)
7. Morphology: just ONE part of language
Morphology: study of WORDS and how
they are formed
Morpheme:
Smallest unit of “meaning” in a language
8. Examples of Morphemes:
BASEMENT – How many morphemes?
BASE – 1
MENT – 0
BASEBALL – How many morphemes?
BASE – 1
BALL – 2
9. Further dividing “morphemes”
Free vs. Bound
Free morphemes stand ALONE
Bound morphemes ONLY have meaning
when attached to another morpheme
Examples:
“s”- plural, more than one
“pre” – before, (prefix)
“able” – capable of, (suffix)
10. SYNTAX: the third PART of language
What is “syntax” – it is the study of the
RULES which govern how words are put
together to make phrases and sentences
12. Jabberwocky Exercises
Complete both exercises to turn in for credit:
1. Bloom’s Taxonomy and the
Jabberwocky
2. Spell Check “Jabberwocky” and
examine your findings….
Reflect
in note-form 3 points related to
syntax and the Jabberwocky.
13. Chomsky, grammar and ASD
Transformational Grammar – Noam
Chomsky theory defining TWO levels
found in all languages
1. SURFACE vs. DEEP
2. What are some considerations special
education teachers should address in this
area of social skills/language acquisition?
14. Chomsky Phrase Structure examined:
Correct syntax but no LITERAL meaning:
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
Furiously sleep ideas green colorless.
Activity: Pick one phrase and one mode of
explanation to share with the class
Picture
Mind Map
15. Semantics: the “Insides” of language
Semantics is the study of the meaning of
words
TWO theories to keep in mind when
determining the “content” of a sentence
Semantic component theory – certain
fundamental features of all words
Selection restriction – rules which govern
what words can appear together
16. Metaphor Skills…
Pick one of the following metaphors:
1. Read it for understanding.
2. Explain your understanding in BOTH a
sentence and drawing.
3. Create your own metaphor for the same
idea expressed in your literature choice.
17. Metaphors – a semantic experience:
Her tall black-suited body seemed to carve its way through the crowded
room."
(Josephine Hart, Damage, 1991)
"Fear is a slinking cat I find
Beneath the lilacs of my mind."
(Sophie Tunnell, "Fear")
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough."
(Ezra Pound, "In a Station of the Metro")
"Those images that yet
Fresh images beget,
That dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea."
(W.B. Yeats, "Byzantium")
18. Pragmatics: “Using” language
“The use of language to express one’s
intentions and to get things done in the
world” – Gleason
IndirectSpeech Acts
Direct Speech Acts
Relation Principle
Quantity
Quality
Manner
19. Pragmatics… cases for
misunderstanding?

Big Bang Theory - Counterfactuals
