A:
I'm sorry you're facing this situation. Protecting your right to speak freely is important, and you shouldn't have to feel threatened for expressing your opinions.
Start by keeping all records, including the letter from the chief, as they can be crucial if you decide to take further action. It might be helpful to consult with a legal advisor who can guide you on your rights and possible steps to address the threats.
You could also reach out to local advocacy groups that support free speech. They may offer resources and support to help you navigate this challenge. Remember, you're not alone, and there are people and organizations that can assist you in standing up for your rights.
