Cory Booker Gives Speech At URI Graduation

This weekend, Cory Booker spoke at University of Rhode Island's commencement ceremonies.

In his speech, Booker stressed the preservation of individual truth.

"This world has a way of trying to homogenize you," he told graduates. "Trying to sanitize you. Trying to scrub you of your unique divine genius. This world wants to make you regular."

Check out some highlights of his URI commencement speech below:

I would be willing to bet that a sizable number of kids in that graduating class think Booker was using a gay reference.

There are few people in possession of "unique, divine genius," or unique anything. Those people almost invariably shine through. If the world is trying to homogenize you, then you're probably homogenizable.
