question
What did Scout hear Miss gates say at the courthouse? In class, Miss Gates said," That's the difference between America and Germany. We are a democracy and Germany is a dictatorship.

answer
She said that "it's time to teach the blacks a lesson".

This tells me that she is a hypocrite because she did exactly what she was at angry at Hitler for.
