An infamous far-left Maryland history teacher is under the spotlight again over the radical remarks he’s made on social media, particularly TikTok.
Lane Cogdill, who appears to be a biological woman who purports to be a very flamboyant man, has reportedly gone so far as to defend property destruction and theft.
“Hey, I got some thoughts about what’s going on in the world. As a history teacher who cares about racial justice, I keep hearing people saying, like, ‘I understand protesting, but I don’t understand rioting and looting.’ Let me just remind y’all, this country was literally built by Black people,” she said in a 2020 TikTok video, according to Fox News.
“Black people’s bodies were literally the currency that our white founding fathers used to fund for revolution. 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—-r to the ground. And white people I’m [going to] need you to do better because your opinion on this is at best, irrelevant, and at worst, literally propagating white supremacy.”
And so according to Cogdill, who works at Silver Spring International Middle School in the Montgomery County Public Schools District, the rioting and looting seen during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots were perfectly OK because blacks “built” America.
Below is a video from Cogdill’s still-active TikTok account:

Cogdill last made headlines in December when Fox News reported that she’d admitted to “intentionally concealing students’ gender changes” from their parents.
“I always ask a trans or questioning student as soon as I find out what is the name you prefer? What pronouns do you prefer? Who else knows? And how would you like me to refer to you when I speak to your family, to the administrators, to other teachers, in front of other students? Some students ask me not to disclose their identity, and that’s a promise I always honor,” she’d said.
“I can’t imagine breaking a single trans or non-binary student’s trust by sharing details about their gender identity with anyone…., especially their parents, their counselors and their administrators,” she’d added.
Following Fox News’ report, the district did nothing, prompting Cogdill to reportedly post another video mocking them.
“Not a soul at my district or my school had brought it up because as it turns out… everything I said aligns exactly with explicit district policy,” she boisterously said.
“It’s almost like as a transgender person myself and an educator who is highly qualified in my field I know what I’m talking about. So I had some good laughs with friends and colleagues about it, and I carried on with my terrifying, clear agenda of teaching middle school every day,” she added.

Pressed by Fox News about Cogdill’s BLM remarks, this time district officials at least said they’re “looking into this.”
However, that’s all they said.
“[T]hey could not ‘comment further because it is a personnel matter,'” Fox News notes.
But no, it’s in fact a personnel matter involving children who’re being taught by someone who clearly has no respect for America’s most basic laws.
A teacher whom many parents believe should not be teaching, period, especially given her own clear-cut mental affliction.
For example, Cogdill refuses to use normal pronouns, preferring instead to use the made-up ones invented by transgender activitists.
“The pronouns that mostly affirm me are ze/zir or they/them or he/him. My title is Mx. Cogdill – Mx. – rather than Ms. or Mr. And I ask my students… to use Mx. instead of ma’am or sir. I changed my name to Lane because it’s gender-neutral. I also go by Theo, which is affirming because my masculinity is not always recognized by other people,” she reportedly said in one of her TikTok videos.
Cogdill also identifies as so-called “non-binary,” which too is not a real thing.
Do not make fun of her.
Do not think this is just the rantings of a brainwashed teacher; she is telling you exactly what the mental health / support services are setting up in schools via school counselors & social workers. Take her seriously. https://t.co/0oS2Iywswf

As previously reported, teachers like Cogdill are a dime a dozen these days. It’s like there’s a social contagion that’s convinced teachers across the country that this sort of behavior and rhetoric is perfectly OK at school.
Vast quantities of parents staunchly disagree and wish teachers like Cogdill would either be fired or would, at the very least, fix themselves first before embarking on a career of teaching.
