One of our ninjas found this article<\/a> about Andrew Gaboury, a history teacher at Coyle Cassidy High School in Taunton, Massachusetts. Gaboury claimed to school personnel and to students that he was a wounded war hero of the War Against Terror – an Intelligence Analyst with a Bronze Star Medal and two Purple Heart Medals – medals that he bought on the internet.<\/p>\n

It was a big deal at the school and he was featured in the student newspaper in an article headlined “Gaboury goes from military to history classroom.”<\/p>\n

“I’m so pleased to have a man like Mr. Gaboury to be on our staff. He had a lot of experiences and was well educated. He even served for our country’s military,” Principal Kathleen St. Laurent said in that article.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, someone tipped off the local news that he wasn’t telling the truth, so they asked the National Personnel Records Center about Gaboury;<\/p>\n

Reporter Ted Daniel contacted the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration in St. Louis by phone and was told no record for him could be found.<\/p>\n

A more thorough search was initiated, but while awaiting the results Gaboury came clean in an email.<\/p>\n

“I made up time in the Army. Over the intervening years I added details as people asked. I am deeply sorrowful for this and did not see a way out,” he wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, one way out would have been to keep that BS off of his application for employment, but he didn’t, so the school canned his lying ass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
