A New Jersey vice principal who threw beer at a group of people who were filming his wife's rant against a transgender woman's use of a women's restroom, and the people who got hit with the beer are accusing each other of harassment. A municipal court judge in Galloway Township is scheduled on Thursday to examine the case of Michael Smurro, vice principal of Neptune Middle School in Monmouth County, as well as those he accuses of harassing him and his wife, Lisa.
A violent, transphobic and hateful physical aggressor does not belong anywhere near N.J. children, petition organizers wrote. We demand that he be removed from his position IMMEDIATELY, without pay, until a full investigation of this situation is complete.
The petition is addressed to both the Neptune Township Board of Education and the New Jersey Department of Education. It has garnered almost 2,000 signatures as of Tuesday morning, with a goal of reaching 2,500.
A letter of demand that includes the petition and calls for better protection of students, specifically transgender middle schoolers, will be brought to the township board of education this week, the organization wrote.

A Salem County grand jury has indicted a Brooklyn, New York, man on death by auto charges in a one-vehicle crash that killed two of his passengers last year.
Yonatan A. Franco-Aguilar, 24, was driving an SUV west on Route 540/Welchville Road in Alloway Township on Dec. 13 when the vehicle left the road, struck trees and a utility pole, then returned to the roadway and overturned.
Kinder Dineth Pinzon Romero, 27, of Brooklyn, died, while the driver and two other passengers, including a 6-year-old child, were hospitalized with serious injuries.
Officials said the incident happened on Sunday, Feb. 21 around 11:30 p.m.
Sergeant Carl Scowcroft, Trooper Matthew Hess, and Trooper Thomas Rheault were called to the report of a 14-year-old boy who ran away from home and got stuck in a marsh near Sawmill Road in Alloway Township.
When troopers arrived, they entered the water and found the trapped boy, who was breathing slowly and was unresponsive. Due to the frigid temperature of the water, Sgt. Scowcroft made a determination that he needed to take immediate action to save the boy s life, state police said.
Sgt. Scowcroft quickly made his way through the mud as Troopers Hess and Rheault kept their flashlights on the victim.
