I know what it's like to walk into a room where plain truth seems like a foreign concept.

We're just speaking your mind, confiild daunting.

Where the founding principles of the United States of America are openly ridiculed.

For two years, I served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Just to give you an idea of how strange things can get at the UN, consider that the Human

Rights Council is dominated by some of the world's worst human rights offenders, countries

like China, Cuba, and Venezuela.

True democracies like Israel are routinely abused.

And America, the nation that has protected the God-given rights of hundreds of millions

of people all over the globe, is openly criticized.

Why am I telling you this?

Because most college campuses have become as anti-American, which is to say morally backward

as the UN.

And the only person who can set it right side up is you.

If that sounds like I'm asking you to shoulder a heavy burden, that's because I am.

I wouldn't be asking if I didn't think you were up to it.

I fully believe that you are.

I've spoken at a lot of colleges.

I'm convinced that most of the students still have a strong, intuitive love of our country.

That's why I'm optimistic about America's future.

But I know that it's hard to speak out.

I know the academic establishment is against you.
