The Schuylkill County Republican, who served as a judge, confronted Anderson’s daughter, Mary, after she finished her essay presentation on the dangers book bans — particularly the removal of books with diverse viewpoints or characters from marginalized communities.

“Senator Argall asked Mary, ‘Do you think we should allow pornographic magazines in Kindergarten classrooms?‘,” Anderson said. “Mary looked confused and had to ask, ‘What does that mean?’ Instead of rephrasing or redirecting the question, the senator explained to her, in front of the entire audience, that it meant ‘naked pictures of people in books and magazines.’”
