Los Angeles Superintendent Ramon Cortines is fuming over a GQ Magazine photoshoot — featuring comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in character as gay Austrian fashionista Bruno — that took place at Birmingham High School in the San Fernando Valley.

The chief of the nation’s second-largest school district says he never gave the OK for the GQ July 2009 photoshoot to take place on school property or to include students.

The GQ cover story features a nude Cohen on the cover. Inside the mag, the actor is photographed wearing shoulder pads, tight red shorts, an athletic cup as he poses with football players from the school.

Cortines says the district has “allowed our students to be used.”
