Tiger Wood’s teacher demands apology
Tiger Woods’ kindergarten teacher
demanded an apology on Friday
from the embattled golfer for
“false accusations of
physical and racial abuse”.
“The accusations against me
were brought up again when
Tiger’s infidelities came to light,”
Maureen Decker told reporters here.
.
.
Decker said she was
“shocked, saddened and disappointed”
by what she called Woods’
“false accusations of physical
and racial abuse on his first day
of school in my kindergarten class.”
“My friends and relatives
started reminding me of how
he slandered me and the school.
I am still feeling the
stress of the allegations.
I have tried numerous times
to get through to Tiger or his
representatives to ask for an
explanation and an apology,
but no one ever returned my calls,”
Decker said at a news
conference with her attorney,
Gloria Allred.
Decker, 69,
said she wants a private and
public apology from Woods.
Decker was Woods’ kindergarten
teacher at Cerritos Elementary
School in Anaheim of Los Angeles
in 1981-82.

In the Charles Barkley book
“Who’s Afraid of a Large Black Man?,”
Woods is quoted as saying:
“I became aware of my
racial identity on my
first day of school,
on my first day
of kindergarten.
A group of sixth
graders tied me to a tree,
spray-painted the word
(racial epithet) on me,
and threw rocks at me.
That was my first day of school.
And the teacher really
didn’t do much of anything.
“I used to live across the street
from the school and kind of
down the way a little bit.
The teacher said,
`Okay, just go home.’
So I had to outrun all
these kids going home,
which I was able to do.
It was certainly an
eye-opening experience,
you know,
being five years old.
We were the only minority
family in all of Cypress,
California.”
.
.
Allred,
who also represented two of
Woods’ alleged mistresses,
said there was no record
of any such occurrence,
noting that neither Woods
nor his parents ever reported
the alleged attack.
“Under the circumstances
where a dedicated kindergarten
teacher has been unfairly
slandered and maligned for
motives that can only
be speculated about,
we think it is time for
Tiger Woods to do
the right thing,
which would be to retract
his statement and apologize
to Ms. Decker,”
Allred said.
Woods took a hiatus from
golf when news broke about
his various extra-marital affairs.
He could not be reached for comment.
