Dissatisfied with their school’s choice of commencement speaker, about half of Saturday’s graduating class at Cheyney University rebuffed U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., by standing and turning their backs to him during his speech.
Just as Santorum began his address, dozens of the 324 graduates stood and faced the audience. One graduate left the area. Many in the crowd applauded the students’ actions.
"Don’t hide from controversy," Santorum told the students as many carried on conversations, at times almost drowning out the senator’s words.

Damn! And not one arrest?!
This appears to be an all black college. If so, I wonder whose brilliant idea it was to book Santorum.
You can actually get the 2004 graduation video, if you'd like.
