When Cambridge parent Gleb Bahmutov picked up his third grader from the Tobin Montessori school a few weeks ago, he was shocked to see an Eversource logo peeking out of his son’s backpack.
The booklets, titled “Natural Gas: Your Invisible Friend” and “My Nat and Gus: A Natural Gas Activity Book,” contain colorful illustrations about pipelines, energy consumption, home use, and safety tips.
Beyond angry. My son brought these propaganda kids books from his Tobin elementary school in Cambridge. Courtesy of @EversourceMA gas. Not a single mention of the climate crisis.

Editor s note: The following is an open letter sent to the Cambridge School Committee and shared with the Chronicle for publication.
My name is Olivia and my name is Zachary. We are in the fifth grade at Tobin Montessori.
We would like to return back to school and urge you to consider reopening the schools for the fourth and fifth graders in and around Cambridge.
We think that learning virtually is not as good for our mental and physical health; this is also scientifically proven.
Scientific studies have shown that kids aren t super spreaders and that schools will be low risk, even if everybody is there.
