A South Jersey teacher from Atlantic County’s Egg Harbor Township school district is apparently being investigated by the Secret Service after allegedly making threats against President Donald Trump.
“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the incident involving comments made online by a teacher in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey,” the Atlantic City-based Secret Service agent in charge told NJ Advance Media. “As a matter of practice, we do not comment on matters involving protective intelligence. We can say, however, that the Secret Service takes all threats related to our protectees seriously.”
The teacher in question – reportedly named Fred Wilson but posting under “Frederick Norby” – appears to have posted incendiary content on social media including a particularly chilling Facebook comment declaring “assassination is at least a talking point.”
Public payroll records reviewed by NJ 101.5 show Wilson’s tenure as a public school teacher dates back to 2003.
Every president faces threats from bad actors, the mentally ill, and foreign enemies, but President Trump has now weathered not one but two unsuccessful assassination attempts in Pennsylvania and Florida, respectively, the former of which infamously resulted in an injury to his ear during a summer 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Egg Harbor Township is relatively “red” from a political perspective; local and county government is under Republican control, and Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the Atlantic City suburb by a strong margin (6,733 votes to 5,263) last November. New Jersey is home to multiple Trump properties including golf courses in Camden County, Monmouth County, and most famously Bedminister, the “Summer White House,” in Somerset.
This is an actual teacher at @EHTNJSchools in NJ. He allegedly wears a “trans rights” shirt to school and wants to discuss assassination.
This is who is teaching your kids.
