And then just as the publicity for this first book began to die down, Amy decided to publish a book called The Triple Package about why some ethnic groups succeed, subtext being why others do not, and you can imagine what the reaction was.

Then she came out in support of Brett Kavanaugh's court nomination in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Now, crucially, this is before he was accused by Christine Blasey Ford. Still, people accused you of misogyny and grooming, and you were almost forced out of Yale.

To add to that plate, in 2021, she was accused of hosting boozy dinner parties, would have said, during COVID lockdowns, and thus Dinner Party Gate was born. Yale punished Amy by barring her from teaching her small group first-year student contingency. I don't know what that is. It's some Yale thing.

And everything is coming up Amy. Today, being a strict tiger mom, in. What? Yes. Yes. Yes. Gentle parenting is out, and we will talk about that. No offense to anyone in this room who's doing that, but I will judge you. Free speech, in. Wokeness and hypersensitivity, very much out. COVID lockdowns, definitely out. Vicious character assassinations and mob rule, hopefully those are out.

And here she is now, attending the inauguration of the incoming president and the vice president, one of whom happens to be her former student and mentee. And it's not Trump because he didn't go to Yale Law School.

It's easy to be a weathervane. It's easy to go where the wind blows, which is what a lot of tech titans are doing right now. But it's hard to be you. It's hard to stand up for your beliefs, even when they are not popular, and even when it means personal consequences, all of which is why I am so excited to be talking to you here tonight. Amy Chua, welcome to Honestly.
