Protest set to call for firing of vice-principal who threw beer after transgender rant Updated May 07, 11:57 AM; Posted May 07, 11:57 AM Facebook Share A protest is scheduled for Friday to call for the firing of a vice principal after he threw beer on people who were videotaping his wife’s extended rant against a transgender woman’s use of a public bathroom. The Neptune school district, however, says in a message on its website that it has responded in a “swift and serious” but, for legal reasons, it cannot make public the action it took regarding Michael Smurro, vice principal of Neptune Middle School.
