THORNBURY - U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum was greeted with boos and turned backs Saturday while giving a commencement speech at Cheyney University, a historically black college.

"I know my selection as commencement speaker was not met with unanimous approval," Santorum said.

Santorum encouraged students to rebel against today's self-centered culture, that says "if it feels good, do it," Santorum said. Instead, he said, the motto should be "if it's good for others, do it."

The quiet protest turned to a chorus of boos and jeers at several points, particularly when Santorum focused on family values and the percentage of black children born out of wedlock.
