\\\"Social justice cannot be attained by violence. Violence kills what it intends to create.\\\"

Katara crossed the line when she attacked Pakku (and to my mind should have been executed for it, but that\\\'s neither here nor there) when he refused to duel her. Not even mentioning the fact that, immediately beforehand, she directly admitted that what she was doing had nothing to do with Aang. She did it because he hurt her feelings.

We can argue all day long about whether Pakku\\\'s decision not to teach Aang was justified or not. It won\\\'t matter one single bit because the problem isn\\\'t Pakku not teaching Aang. It\\\'s Katara attacking Pakku and being portrayed as being totally in the right for it.

In summary: Katara did something bad and the show said it was good. It had nothing to do with Aang, or the Fire Nation\\\'s future genocide attempt. It was 100% [[ItsAllAboutMe all about Katara]] getting her feelings hurt.
