Leef, George. "Another Progressive Grasps the Truth about the Democratic Party". National Review. 29 August, 2024.
Leef recycles common misunderstandings and exaggerations about the flipped Day of Absence at Evergreen:
"Readers might remember the turmoil at Evergreen State College in Washington State back in 2017, when a white professor defied a demand by militant black students that all white people take a day off from campus . . . That professor was Bret Weinstein, a devoted social-justice advocate who could not see how depriving students of a day of learning could possibly do anything to improve the situation of blacks. "
Leef cites a Forbes article on the protests, but that article, which barely discusses the Day of Absence, is relatively accurate so far as it goes (although it states without evidence that "a safety threat forced [Weinstein] to teach his class in a public park)" .. Leef's incorrect understanding of the event must derive from elsewhere.

In an opinion piece in the rightwing news site California Globe, Sances writes that student protestors threatened Weinstein's life. There is no evidence for this, and so far as The Bibliographer knows, Weinstein has never claimed this.

Singal, Jesse. "Bret Weinstein Sure Has A Lot Of Theories" Singal-minded. 22 February, 2024
Brief mention of Evergreen, but mostly a critical summary of relatively recent claims that Weinstein has made having to do with covid vaccines, immigration, HIV, insinuation of murder, and a hypothesis that "That the Chinese one-child policy is a lineage adaptation to generate a conquering army of males that can be sent to the U.S. and become a fifth column in the military, replacing the independent-minded and principled soldiers who lost their jobs for refusing to get vaccines"

The last paragraph reminisces about Weinstein’s first appearance on Tucker Carlson at the end of the week of the Evergreen-protests.
