Pennsylvania State Senator asked child “pornography” question during National Civics Bee competition


A Pennsylvania State Senator is apologizing after posing a pornography question to a 6th grade girl during a civics competition.

On Wednesday, April 16, a local National Civics Bee competition was held at Penn State Schuylkill in Schuylkill Haven, giving students in grades 6th through 8th a chance to “flex their civics knowledge for a chance to win recognition and cash prizes.”



According to the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce website, these student competitors came to discuss a variety of essay topics.


However, one student’s topic of Book Banning drew a bit of controversy, not because of her topic, but because of a question asked by one of the participating judges, who happens to be a State Senator.

According to a Facebook post by the mother of the girl whose essay was about book banning, State Sen. David Argall (R-Carbon/Luzerne/Schuylkill) asked the 6th grade girl if it was “appropriate to give pornographic magazines to kindergarteners.”

The mother says her daughter asked what the State Senator meant, seemingly because the young girl did not know what pornography was.


Argall, the mother says, then responded by telling the young girl that pornography was “naked pictures of people.”

“This discussion has no place at the Civics Bee,” the mother shared online. “I am further appalled and furious that I now have to explain pornography to my 4th grader who was there to cheer on her sister.”

I mean, I'm pretty sure he's an antivaxxer. So... Vance IS the biological weapon

Obviously Francis wanted to confront evil one more time before he died.

Seems labour claims that the recent court ruling about trans people is grounds to ban them from bathrooms, and as I've always said such plots are meant to legislate trans people out of public spaces, thus making people less likely to encounter one, and thus making it easier to demonize them further. Now not being able to use the bathroom sounds small at first glance, but many outdoor activities, be they museums, movies or restaurants start becoming a lot less appealing if you know that you can only use the toilet again once back home. Essentially you're demanded to just hold it up for hours. Especially tricky in restaurants when alcohol is involved.

When the two worst people on this issue have a point.
And they can still both off or causing this mess in the first place. Rogan's only doing something now because he got screwed over like most other biatch Republicans sucking Trump's dick. Not because it's the right thing.

Fuck medical privacy, we have to fight autism!
Now keep in mind that he's hinted he'd like to restrict health coverage for people who "eat doughnuts or smoke". "Sorry, your Medicaid isn't covering your heart surgery because you had a Quarter Pounder last week; try getting some steps in on the streets after your medical bills leave you homeless."

I was in an AskChina Subreddit on Reddit, and one of the users was a naive English-speaking Westerner who asked the question about why China hates wheelcheer accessible buildings, and people kept spamming on it that it would cost too much.

The only problem with that thinking is yes, the first-order effects are that you have to pay money for it, and disabled people are helped by it, and most of China isn't disabled, so why do it? The second-order effects are, however, that many jobs(mainly blue-collar) have a higher risk of making you disabled, and if you don't accommodate that, it discourages fewer people from doing them. Even in the US, people don't like trade jobs despite the high salary and accessibility. And that's bad because without people who do those jobs, the world grinds to a halt.

But what do I know, I am just an 'intellectual', and ABC who doesn't know Mandarin. Again, this isn't just a Chinese problem, it's a closed-minded problem that is everywhere.

Also, it costs more to retrofit a building to be accessible rather than designing it that way from the get go. But people making new buildings often choose to overlook this.

No one is going to make a connection to the Mutant Registration Act/ Sorkovian Accords?

Especially after RFK claimed that autistic people are quadriplegics? (Or more disabled, because most of them can earn a living and pay taxes. It honestly makes me doubt that RFK knows what autism is)

You guys are all uncultured
