Lula

In chapter 12, Jem and Scout attend Calpurnia's church. When they arrive there, Lula does not welcome them. Lula says, "You aint got no business bringing white chillum here" (119). Is Lula right? Why might Lula not want Jem and Scout in her church?

No i think that she is wrong.B/c they didn't do anything wrong so they shouldn't be Punished for what other White people have said and done to lula!

no she isnt right.eventhough white people would of done the same to black people if they came to their church its still wrong.jem and scout wouldnt do that to any black people because they are like atticus and believe that everyone should be treated equally.its not right that lula said that to them beacuse she os also discriminating against whites but she shouldnt do that because she wouldnt want them to discriminate against her.there only kids and she had no right to say that.

she is wrong because even though the blacks are being discriminated by the whites she should be the bigger person and let them come. she doesn't want jem and scout to come to their church because they are white and the whites have their own church.
