Following up on my reporting from earlier this year, #MichiganTech again finds itself mired in controversy surrounding free speech after removing a professor from his class for criticizing a student event that featured hate speech targeting #lgbtqia groups.

A conservative backed organization that polices free speech on college campuses has entered the fray demanding the University uphold faculty rights to free expression.

Michigan Tech receives ultimatum from free speech watchdog after removing professor β€” Copper Beacon

An event to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall on Michigan Tech’s campus last month devolved into a billboard for hate which was defended as constitutionally protected free speech.

Stopped posting #YourDailyFlowerPic when my cellphone bricked. After jumping through too many hoops, I finally got a replacement phone.

Until I figure out if I want to resume the daily posting, here is a photo of a hummingbird (taken in Bootjack, Michigan) for you to enjoy.

I'm trying to remember to check in at 9:30 m, when dinner is often delivered.

Morning #LakeSuperior is also lovely.
A thin layer of ice grew overnight, gone by 11 am.
