Tiger's Kindergarten Teacher is Mad Now Too

Add another name to the list of women TIGER WOODS needs to apologize to.  69-year-old Maureen Decker . . . Tiger's KINDERGARTEN TEACHER . . . wants him to say he's sorry over a story he told five years ago. 

     In CHARLES BARKLEY'S book, "Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?", Tiger claimed he was the victim of a vicious racial attack on his first day of kindergarten.  He said, quote, "A group of sixth graders tied me to a tree, spray-painted (the N-word) on me, and threw rocks at me.  That was my first day of school.  And the teacher really didn't do much of anything." (This allegedly occurred at Cerritos Elementary School in Anaheim.  Tiger was a kindergartner from 1981 to 1982.)

      But Decker says this never happened.  And she has hired . . . guess who??? . . . GLORIA ALLRED to help her get her point across.  They held the obligatory press conference on Friday. 

     Gloria said, quote, "Ms. Decker believes that no such incident ever occurred to Tiger Woods on the first day of class, while he was under her care as a kindergarten pupil.  "Neither Tiger, nor his parents, nor anyone ever reported the alleged racial incident to her or the administration.  Therefore Ms. Decker contends that the incident and the statement that the teacher really didn't do much of anything about it, is completely untrue."

Gloria then asked that Tiger RETRACT that statement and APOLOGIZE to Decker.  Decker then took the microphone and said that she suffered from migraines, elevated blood pressure and colitis . . . which is an inflammation of the colon . . . as a result of Tiger's story.  She added, quote, "I am asking Tiger for a private and public apology to put my mind at ease and set the record straight."

 She wouldn't say if she plans to SUE Tiger if he refuses to apologize, but she added that she does NOT want money from him.  Decker claims she's not just jumping on the anti-Tiger bandwagon.  She says she took her concerns to school officials back when the story came out . . . and both she and they tried to contact Tiger.  But they could never get a response from him.  Decker says the issue has been coming up again since Tiger's scandal broke . . . which is why she finally chose to deal with it.
