What upsets the children the most about Atticus taking on the Robinson case? What is Lee's purpose for having the children hear the community's attitude toward Atticus?

I think the stress on their father upsets the kids most about taking the Tom Robinson case.It disturbs Scout and Jem to hear disparaging remarks about their father from friends and neighbours. Lee points out how harmful ignorance and hate can be on children not corrupted by racism. Through their innocence we see the ugliness that racism and ignorance breeds.
