Los Angeles Unified Statement on Fake Twitter Account
LOS ANGELES (November 6, 2020) – Los Angeles Unified has been made aware that a fake Twitter account has been posted impersonating Superintendent Austin Beutner, purportedly making comments concerning the recent outcome of the Los Angeles Unified Board elections and other political statements. These remarks were not made by the Superintendent.
Impersonating a public official is inappropriate and a crime. We have taken the necessary steps to have the fake postings taken down and to uncover the true identity of this impersonator.
