Retired teacher Maureen Decker emerged yesterday from Woods' sordid past to say that a story he's told about being brutalized by racist kids on his first day of kindergarten was pure bunk.
"I am asking Tiger for a private and public apology to put my mind at ease and set the record straight," said Decker, a smiling 69-year-old.
Decker ripped a recollection from Woods that appeared in a book written by his buddy, former NBA star Charles Barkley, and which he repeated in an interview with Barbara Walters.
"A group of sixth graders tied me to a tree, spray-painted the word 'n----' on me, and threw rocks at me," he said. "That was my first day of school. And the teacher really didn't do much of anything."
