On June 1, 2017, the Washington Post, referring to events that had taken place earlier that year, wrote, "This year, the school suggested that white students and faculty stay away from campus that day. Weinstein, a biology professor, wrote a letter to organizers saying that he would not stay away from campus, noting, 'On a college campus, one’s right to speak — or to be — must never be based on skin color.'"

On this same issue, New York Times staff editor Bari Weiss wrote an opinion column which said, "Following the protest, college police, ordered by Evergreen’s president to stand down, told Mr. Weinstein they couldn’t guarantee his safety on campus. In the end, Mr. Weinstein held his biology class in a public park." Weiss also included a link to this YouTube video, and wrote of the video, "For expressing his view, Mr. Weinstein was confronted outside his classroom last week by a group of some 50 students insisting he was a racist. The video of that exchange — 'You’re supporting white supremacy' is one of the more milquetoast quotes — must be seen to be believed. It will make anyone who believes in the liberalizing promise of higher education quickly lose heart. When a calm Mr. Weinstein tries to explain that his only agenda is 'the truth,' the students chortle."

In May 2017, some students asked white students and professors to stay off campus for a day.

Bret Weinstein, a white biology professor, objected to this, stating, "Nobody should tell another group to leave campus and then stigmatize them if they decide not to go."

Some of the students protested against Weinstein. The police advised Weinstein to stay off campus on that day for his own safety.

Video of the protestors showed them chanting "Hey-hey, ho-ho, these racist teachers have got to go." Hundreds of students participated in the protest.

The protestors demanded that they be excused from any homework, and the school's president, George Bridges, gave in to their demand.

After videos of the protest were put up at YouTube, protestors sent the school a letter which said, "We demand that the video created for Day of Absence and Day of Presence that was stolen by white supremacists and edited to expose and ridicule the students and staff be taken down by the administration by this Friday."

The letter also requested that criminal charges be filed against whoever "stole" the video.
