Jem reacts angrily to the news. In a fit of rage, Jem tells her, "I never wanta hear about that courthouse again." Miss Gates said that it's horrible for Hitler to do horrible things to the Jews Jem agreed. But remember what she said about Tom and his trial.. Since he was black, he should have been guilty.. She is a hypocrite and is racist against black people.
Jem is shocked and upset when Scout tells him about overhearing Miss Gates's racist comments at the courthouse. He struggles to reconcile the stark contrast between her condemnation of Hitler's prejudice and her own racist remarks, leading him to question the hypocrisy and ignorance present in the society around him.
Bill Gates is not an Eagle Scout- he was a Life Scout. His father William H. Gates, Sr. is a Distinguished Eagle Scout.
Mrs. Gates makes ugly remarks about African-Americans at Tom Robinson's trial. This is the same lady who teaches Scout 3rd grade and talks about Hitler and his persecution of Jews. DrAddAHip
Because in the classroom Miss Gates said how wrong it is for Hitler to be prejudice, and then outside the courthouse Scout heard her say how it is good that someone in the black community is learning a lesson. She didn't get how she could be prejudice against the black community then criticise Hitler.
Miss Gates condemns Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany during World War II, for his atrocities and the persecution of Jews. However, Scout notices that Miss Gates is hypocritical as she was sympathetic towards African Americans facing discrimination in the United States.
Scout, Jim, and Dill watch groups of farmers, schoolchildren, and ladies from personal care class pass by their house on the way to the courthouse.
Miss Gates expresses disapproval of Hitler's treatment of Jews, proclaiming how wrong it is. Scout finds this hypocritical since she recalls Miss Gates making racist comments about black people in Maycomb. Scout is disturbed by the inconsistency between Miss Gates's views on racial injustice in Europe versus in their own community.
The man Scout spoke to during the mob scene outside the courthouse was Mr. Cunningham, the father of Walter Cunningham. Scout's innocent conversation with him helped diffuse the tension and reminded him of his individuality and humanity, prompting the mob to disperse.

Miss Gates is Scout's third grade teacher. She is a hypocritical and prejudiced woman. Miss Gates shows lots of sympathy for the Jews in Germany during the class discussion on current events. But Scout overhears her talking about how the black community in Maycomb should be oppressed and feel inferior to whites. Miss Gates has two conflicting ideas on the treatment of people.

Scout and Jem end up sitting on the balcony with Reverend Sykes during Tom Robinson's trial due to the crowded courthouse. They witness the trial from a distant and elevated perspective, which provides them with a unique viewpoint on the proceedings.
