Ugly Reality

Well, I feel like everyone have the right to know things. I do not see how this can hurt the kids. I can not and will not state if this can apply to other kids of the same age, but both Jem and Scout are mature enough to realize the reality. The cruel reality of racism should be explained to the kids before the wrong side implant a deep image that ruins the rest of the kid's life up. I believe that kids can realize those stuff at a rather small age. As long as they can communicate and think at the level of that of Jem or Scout, then they can no matter how old they are. In fact, I believe they should participate as soon as possible. There is this problem about the gap of harsh reality and cheerful wonderland in modern education. Once a kid realize the truth of the world, darkness and evilness, the wonderland no longer exist. This causes excess stress on kids. It should be said that everyone should understand the truth from the start, not giving them shock of the truth all of the sudden.
