When Miss Gates lectures on about democracy during their "Current Events" class, Scout gets very confused because she did not know that her teacher would be able to hate a man because he is different from others, because she overheard Miss Gates at the trial talking to someone else about Tom. At the trial, Miss Gates told Miss Maudie that Tom deserved what he got because blacks are "overthinking themselves, and think that are equal, but they're not." <== Not a real quote.

Answer:
<u>Government officials downplayed the severity of the crimes committed.</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Remember, it was a question asked by a journalist to a US state department press conference in which the US spokeswoman Christine Shelley avoids applying the term "genocide" to the what was happening in <em>Rwanda</em>. Despite the fact that there had been an ethic cleansing of the Tutsi tribe, with more thousands of dead bodies on the streets. Thus, government officials initially showed a lack of admittance to the severity of what was happening in Rwanda.
