The Big Apple mom who crashed Mayor Eric Adams’ press conference Monday to blast him over his tot mask mandate was fired shortly afterward from her job at the city Law Department ...
Daniela Jampel, who served as an assistant corporation counsel, learned she was canned less than an hour after she confronted a caught-off-guard and apparently annoyed Adams over when he would “unmask our toddlers.”
...
“Three weeks ago, you told parents to trust you that you would unmask our toddlers,” Jampel told the mayor.
“You stood right here, and you said that the masks would come off April 4. That has not happened.”
...
Jampel – a leading local critic of the toddler mask mandate and pandemic school closures – was informed by e-mail shortly after the presser that she was fired.
...
Jampel told The Post in a statement, “I am retaining counsel and will not litigate in the press.”
The mother of three had been out on maternity leave for the past eight months while actively speaking out against COVID-19 restrictions in Big Apple schools and is the co-founder of the advocacy group “Keep NYC Schools Open.”
A source familiar with the matter said Jampel appeared to be in good standing with her bosses as recently as mid-February, when one of them approved her request for extended maternity leave.
The higher-up approved her request and said her colleagues were looking forward to working with her again upon her return

Children are the government’s property. Any parent who interferes with government property needs to be dealt with harshly.
Apparently insolence carries serious consequences.
Every citizen has the right to free speech, and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. But only if you follow the party line.
Good: “I am very upset with Republican governor DeSantis.”
Not good: “I am very upset with Democrat mayor Adams.”
Adams is a Marxist/fascist/DICKtator who needs to be called out and be gone.
Re say anything:
You CAN say anything… as long as the communist democrat in charge approves it…
Sue and settle.
If he’s dumb enough and vain enough to think firing this woman will be the end to any direct criticism of his job performance, he’s going to be wrong.
Who does he think he is, The Fidel Castro of NYC?
She’s a cracker, so no protection against malicious firing.
Who would risk employment and their pension in New York City government? Better to never have started working there.
Sure, no problem for guvmint employees. You just come back when you feel up to it and your (totally worthless) job will be there for you.
As a general rule, I would never allow government employees to join advocacy groups whose mission involves lobbying government for any cause. On its face, it would seem that this is a clear conflict of interest.
jeez, govt job, eight months on maternity leave...
Good Lord.
$10 says she voted for him...
Democrats are evil scum.
