Part 5/7:
Kelly praised individuals like Jodie Shaw—a former Smith College employee who voiced opposition to DEI policies—and Andrew Gutman, a father who campaigned against similar practices in elite schooling. She celebrated these figures as symbols of resistance against a narrative that, in her view, was skewed by a politically correct agenda. By sharing their stories, she aimed to embolden her audience, encouraging them to embrace their roles as agents of change.
The anecdotes of everyday people resisting divisive policies served as rallying points, further reinforcing her belief in a collective movement striving for a country that prioritizes merit and individuality over identity politics.
