Smarty Pants returns on March 29 with a new miniseries: Exploding the Canon, about an all-out culture war at Reed College. In 2016, a student group named Reedies Against Racism began protesting the syllabus of the mandatory freshman humanities course and the college’s failure to support Black students. After a year of sustained protest, the students won the largest-ever revision of Humanities 110—but half a decade on, emotions are still raw. Smarty Pants host Stephanie Bastek graduated from Reed in 2013, and she returned last year to find out how much Reed’s culture had really changed.


Trailer produced by Mickey Capper. Original music by Rhae Royal.
