But was he on double-secret probation?

A Cleveland-area principal got himself into trouble for resume-padding when he failed to recognize the secret hadshake of a fraternity in which he claimed membership on his resume. I've just gotta wonder whether he was on double-secret probation anyway, and that was the reason for his quick departure.

Did they make him write "I Will Not Lie On My Resume" 500 times on the blackboard before they let him resign?

CLEVELAND (AP) — Busted!

A charter-school principal in Cleveland has resigned, after failing to recognize a secret handshake.

That's what tipped off the head of the school's advisory board that the principal might have lied about his background.

The advisory board leader, Tim Goler, had been a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. The principal, Lewis Thomas, claimed to have been a member as well.

But when Goler offered Thomas the fraternity's secret handshake, Thomas didn't recognize it.

Goler now says it turns out that much of Thomas' resume was false. Thomas denies that, and says he resigned for personal reasons.
