Apr 02 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The kindergarten teacher of pro golfer Tiger Woods has came forward with story of her own. This one, thankfully, is not a story of illicit affairs carried on with Tiger Woods, like so many woman have spoken out about lately, but it is a story of deception which will make everyone continue to question the image that the world once had of Tiger.

The teacher, who was identified as Maureen Decker by the sportsBYbrooks blog, has hired a celebrity lawyer, Gloria Allred to represent her as she says to press cameras that the story which Tiger told of a very unpleasant experience in kindergarten was absolutely false. In an anecdote which has been heard many times, Tiger tells of being racially harassed and picked on during his first day of school. His story goes something like this: “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 n-word] on me, and threw rocks at me. That was my first day of school. I used to live across the street from 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.”

In a press conference from her lawyer’s office, Mrs. Decker said that she was shocked, saddened and disappointed by his comments. She shared the way these accusations have effected her, and tells of many witnesses that she has to the fact that the accusations are false. She is asking for a private as well as public apology. She added that if he is truly following the 12 step program, then he will need to apologize to everyone he has hurt by his words and actions. “That includes me,” she said.
