A pro-BLM teacher forced out of her job at a South Carolina school
Once an eighth-grade history teacher at the school in small-town Hilton Head, non binary instructor Lane Cogdill was moved schools two summers ago over the since deleted TikTok video, which at the time sparked debates and even death threats for Cogdill.
Amid the backlash, the teacher - also an avid TikToker with a pronounced social media following - was transferred to a nearby adult education center in Beaufort amid calls for Codgill's firing.
The controversy would soon sputter out, while Cogdill would continue posting progressive, often polarizing content after being reprimanded by the district's superintendent and school principal.
Now, it appears Codgill - who uses 'ze/zir,' 'they/them' and 'he/him' pronouns - is back to teaching kids and posting problematic snippets, including some that insist that concealing student's gender changes are part of her school's policy.
Staffers at Silver Spring International Middle School - whose website lists Codgill as a staffer - this week reportedly said they are 'looking into' their new employee's checkered past.
'Hey y'all, I have some thoughts about what's going on in the world as a history teacher who cares about racial justice,'
'I keep hearing people say, I understand protesting, but I don't understand rioting and looting, and let me just remind y'all that this country was literally built by black people.
'Black people's bodies were literally the currency that our white founding fathers used to fund the revolution,' Cogdill says, before declaring: 'So as far as I'm concerned, as a white person and as a history teacher, if your ancestors built this country, you have the right to burn the motherf***er to the ground.'

Oh man....I looked 😮😲😧😱😳🙀🤯
Oh there’s worse than that
Lane Cogdill Of course Caucasian.
Weird and creepy.
(burn the ....... to the ground.’)
Because, that’s like totally sane.
HR needs some best practices retraining. Seriously. Interfacing with the public, students etc... doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have some standard of dress in the workplace. This freak has got freak written all over and how HR could even possibly think that was a good optic for the school is beyond belief.
Reminds me of a restaurant I walked out of 5 or 6 years ago when the wait staff approached the table and had oozing fluids coming out of multiple piercings in soft tissues I couldn’t f****** even think about eating after that... totally f****** gross visual.
Not good enough. Drop this cvnt in a black neighborhood around 1 am.
Yes Ms. Smidget. Oh excuse me, you’re a Hooterville/Train
Track. Sorry.
Oh, you’re a man. Okay.
So, Mr. Hooterville/Train Track, where did you last work?
What happened there?
Oh. Oh, oh, and oh.
And how much did that suit cost the district? Oh!!!
Okay, well thank you for the interview. We’ll be sure
to use your proper pronouns when we call.
What are the good points about having a nose ring?
She wants to be called Zir, so I wouldn’t ask her.
All part of the same complex. And of course she's white.
Jim Jones.
“Problem Glasses” and nose ring.
I would NEVER hire. Walking stereotypes...who claim to be “different”.
Buh, bye.
Last two cleaning ladies I hired were the same and fired them both. Useless. Wanted block pay and not by the hour. Then....gradually....started slacking on their hours. Would show up late and leave early.
I pay you for 4 hours. Not 2.5.
I am pretty certain I have asked that here before. at least I ask myself that every time I see a pretty younger girl who has one.
There is some guy that works at a store I go to who has one of these in his nose and it is just weird especially cause I carried one for many years in my pocket with keys on it
his does not have keys on it so I cannot see the point
Both sides in the Revolutionary war had slavery as part of their economies as was the norm for about every nation and people throughout history.
Both sides some decades later abolished slavery which was far from the norm.
Moreover it is dubious to claim that slavery was such a big part of the economy on either side that it was what was "used to fund the revolution".
I do not follow history much, but this level of incompetence in the subject is disturbing...have to think its borne of just irrational radicalization. In any case, the person seems too silly to be a teacher.
She’s hoping for love at first fright? Maybe not.
....I went into a McDonald’s in a small town in West Texas (on I 10) a couple years back and saw, for the first time, a large wall with vending machines embedded in the wall. The vending machine was not serving cokes. It was serving Big Mac’s, Quarter Pounders and fries. There were still live high school kids selling Big Mac’s at the counter but the message for the future was CLEAR.
Similarly, in most classes, we are going to have get rid of MOST teachers. Instead, mandatory, strictly enforced silence will be required to listen on the big screen TV to the day’s lesson. When the bell rings, the kids get up and leave.
To keep the video lessons honest, what the kids see on the TV, the parents, indeed the entire world, can see at home.
One of these days, somebody’s going to ask that nose ringed store clerk how mamy keys he thinks would fit on that small metal ring?
This garbage that has replaced serious professional educators is a direct result of decades of Democrat political pandering to the very worst dregs of our society. It’s the penalty that civilized parents and children of our country are now paying for bowing down to the leftist ideology of corrupted, weak-minded politicians and the weak-minded voters who elect them.
Xem, Xey, wow and here I thought all this time I was on planet earth
