Final answer:

Aunt Alexandra in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' wants Atticus to forbid Calpurnia from taking Scout and Jem to her church due to her racial and social prejudices.

Step-by-step explanation:

In To Kill a Mockingbird, when Alexandra discovers that the children have gone to church with Calpurnia, she expresses her disapproval and wants Atticus to stop allowing Calpurnia to bring the children to her church. Alexandra believes that by attending a Black church, Scout and Jem might be exposed to influences she considers inappropriate. Alexandra's suggestion to Atticus reflects the racial and social prejudices of the time, showcasing her belief in the superiority of her own race and class.
