During Trump's first term, the woke culture at an elite American university became so extreme it resembled China's Cultural Revolution, according to "Tiger Mother" author Amy Chua.

For over 25 years, Chua, a professor at Yale Law School, was under immense pressure to publicly condemn her close friend, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, prior to his 2018 confirmation hearing.

An open letter requesting the Senate to temporarily halt the confirmation process until an FBI investigation is conducted received 47 faculty signatures, but Chua's signature was not included.

Chua stated that the Cultural Revolution was a clear example of what they did, with the language used being almost identical. The term "denounce" was used, and everyone seemed to be folding under pressure. It was like lemmings, where everyone had to sign the document, despite Chua's dislike for signing things.

"My decision to not turn on my friends was a personal one, and I wasn't trying to be brave or stand out. I didn't ask if anyone thought it happened or not, instead, I simply decided not to denounce him."

"Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua, which promotes a highly involved and academically rigorous Chinese-style upbringing, became popular and attracted controversy, with one critic accusing her of reinforcing stereotypes.

During the tumultuous period surrounding the Kavanaugh confirmation, Chua admitted that she was in a "long struggle for survival" at Yale Law school.

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of committing a sexual assault as a teenager at Georgetown Preparatory school.

At the time, The Guardian reported that Chua advised female students seeking to work for Kavanaugh to present themselves attractively, stating that it was "no coincidence" that his female clerks resembled models.

The author of "The Triple Package" strongly rejected the accusations, labeling them as "totally false" propaganda.

She stated that the advice to dress like a model for a conservative interview was unwise and not something she would give.

The Kavanaugh allegations have been subject to intense scrutiny in the media. In a recent interview, New York Times reporter David Enrich admitted that he would cover the incident differently today if he were to report on it again, in conversation with Kavanaugh's childhood friend Mark Judge.
