Uniting and strengthening America by providing appropriate tools required to intercept haters of stuffing
November 21, 2018
My fellow Americans,
It is with a heavy heart I announce that our freedom is under attack. Vicious perpetrators of evil are attempting to divide us and disrupt the values we hold so dear: the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The haters and losers on the other side seek to spread FAKE NEWS in their blatant witch hunt, which is why I am so graciously donating my time to set the record straight.
Simply put, stuffing is a divine creation that we mortals were fortunate enough to stumble upon. Anybody who tells you otherwise is a menace to society and should be locked up indefinitely. Few foods rival properly-crafted stuffing in terms of striking a perfect balance between a savory taste and the overbearing presence of salts and herbs, in addition to possessing a subtle crunch that gives the bread impeccable texture.
I know for a fact that I am correct on this somehow divisive issue. After all, every iota of data you will find is on my side as well. According to a 2018 study conducted by a stable and genius sports editor, test subjects whose taste buds respond positively to stuffing are also approximately 10,000 percent more likely to win debate tournaments, score modeling gigs for woke Pathfinder columns and earn acceptance into elite Ivy League universities, which, as long-time readers will recall, is quite literally the only thing that matters in life. (Also reported was a sharp rise in egotism, but further research is necessary to confirm that finding.)
This Thanksgiving, you should be thankful for hard-hitting journalists, like myself, who actually have the courage to “call it like it is.” In this beautifully-written editorial, we have scientifically proven that no dish can complete a meal quite like stuffing, and only a charlatan such as Mr. Cupps would be foolish enough to claim otherwise. If you do make the ill-fated choice to steer clear of the stuffing at your upcoming Thanksgiving feast, that’s fine by me. It just means more for the rest of us to enjoy.

![The narrow lens contrasts with a diverse reality; whitewashing means altering or concealing something to make it more appealing to white people. The word “whitewashed” as it is used today has caused identity crises for thousands, if not millions, of students. “I have been called whitewashed before, and it feels very sad. [It’s] just hard because it makes me not know who I am. You don’t get a lot of backlash for [saying it], so I think it’s a throwaway term for people who aren’t affected by it. When you are the person [who] is being called whitewashed, over time, it builds up,” sophomore Raaga Golla said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG_5740-1-300x200.jpg)
![Two of Pathfinder’s most recent editorial accolades shine on display in journalism teacher Lindsey Katz’s room. Pathfinder was recognized as a SNO Distinguished Site on April 24. “Praise isn’t everything, but it feels so nice to see the hard work of our staff recognized. So much more than just writing words on a page occurs [in journalism], and I am so glad people see that. I love being surrounded by such talented writers, but also such great people,” editor-in-chief and junior Payton Dean said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC_4941-300x200.jpg)
![Setting up the activity for his first meeting, Financial Literacy Club founder and sophomore Yash Bandiananthaiah writes on the whiteboard. For the first meeting, Bandiananthaiah created an interactive experience for members to immerse themselves in. “To me, the most important thing during a meeting is to make sure we are all engaged and participating, and [I do this by] always making sure we have a hands-on activity,” Bandiananthaiah said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC5306-1200x798.jpg)
![Hand raised into the air, senior Lauren Anstrom watches as her graduation cap flies along with the caps of all her peers. Anstrom hopes to leave behind the legacy as someone who was kind, hardworking, and always supportive of others. “Tossing my graduation cap honestly felt surreal. In that moment, everything hit me at once with all the excitement, relief and a little sadness too. It felt really emotional [because] this was the end of such a big chapter of my life, but also exciting knowing that everyone was about to start a completely new journey,” Anstrom said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_3031-Enhanced-NR-2-1200x800.jpg)
![French teacher Blair Hopkins enters City Coffee & Creperie in Clayton, Mo. for breakfast with her Honors French 4 students and AP French 5 students. Both classes went on a field trip to a fair trade chocolate factory in St. Louis to begin their unit on Côte D’Ivoire, a major producer of cocoa beans. “My ideal school would just be the Magic School Bus — you would always learn about things by going someplace and learning hands-on, being able to see it yourself and asking people questions. I think [learning is] always so much more memorable if you can experience it firsthand,” Hopkins said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC2795-1200x798.jpg)

Why else would “eat dessert first” be such a common catchphrase? People spend weeks thinking about their traditional pie recipes and rush through dinner to get to them….nobody spends all of Thanksgiving Day waiting around for crumbled up bread.
