Scout has heard Miss Gates speak hatefully of black people. She tells Jem that she overheard Miss Gates speaking to Stephanie Crawford on the night of Tom Robinson's trial: 'I heard her say it's time somebody taught 'em a lesson, they were gettin' way above themselves, an' the next thing they think they can do is marry us.' Scout then asks, 'Jem how can you hate Hitler so bad an' then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home–.' Like Mrs. Merriweather and the other ladies in the missionary circle, Miss Gates is a hypocrite. She is outraged at the persecution of the Jews in Germany, yet she refuses to acknowledge the persecution of blacks in her own country. Moreover, she protests against prejudice to her students, yet her remarks to Stephanie Crawford demonstrate that she herself is a racist.
