英语文摘:Tiger Wood's kindergarten teacher demands apology

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.
