- A man captured on video telling parents to take masks off their kids lost his job, a report said.
- R New York, a real-estate agency, fired Curtis Goldstein on Friday, the Daily Mail reported.
A New York real-estate agent was fired from his job after he recorded himself yelling outside a school at children and their parents because they were wearing face masks, the Daily Mail reported.
Curtis Goldstein was terminated from R New York, a real-estate agency, on Friday. The Daily Mail reported that the firing came after Goldstein, also known as Curtis Orwell, had posted a video harassing parents near a Manhattan elementary school the day before.
"Dear parents, please take off these masks from your children," Goldstein could be heard saying in the video, which was reposted on Twitter. "Take them off. They're not helping. They're degrading their health."
In the video, he called it a "diabolical" and "psychological operation."
"Your parents are abusing you. That's what's going on because they can't let go of CNN," he said in the video.
The New York City Department of Education said students and employees are required to wear a mask anywhere on school grounds both "indoors and outdoors, regardless of vaccination status, unless they have a medical exemption."
In a statement, R New York said Goldstein was "no longer affiliated with the company," the Daily Mail reported.
"R New York does not support bullying or harassment of any kind, as it is not aligned with our values," the company said in a statement. "The company has made a decision to terminate Curtis Goldstein effective immediately."
