Liberal Democrats, too lazy and stupid to compete 
scholastically.  This is the result of the present day inferior 
California school system, once the envy of the entire free 
world, after 40 years of Democrat control and parasitic 
socialist union infestation.

“Desperate Housewives” star Felicity Huffman was desperate in 
real life to see her older daughter go to college.

The award-winning actress made no secret of her academic 
aspirations for daughter Sofia Grace Macy, tweeting a photo of 
herself and “Shameless” star husband William H. Macy walking 
hand-in-hand along a tree-lined campus quad in December 2017.

“Visiting colleges with our 17 year old. Makes me nostalgic 
.?.?. WHILE ITS HAPPENING!” she wrote.

But behind the scenes, Huffman, 56, was secretly scheming with a 
crooked college counselor, William “Rick” Singer, to illegally 
boost Sofia’s score on the crucial SAT exams by 400 points, 
according to the feds.

Singer, who pleaded guilty Tuesday to racketeering conspiracy 
and other crimes, began cooperating with authorities in late 
September and helped them gather evidence, including against 
Huffman, according to court papers.

Huffman was among 33 wealthy parents charged Tuesday with 
conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud 
in a pair of related scams to cheat on college-entrance exams 
and corruptly recruit student athletes.

Others accused of paying to illegally inflate their kids’ test 
scores include Gordon Caplan, co-chairman of the white-shoe law 
firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher, and Gregory and Marcia Abbott, 
whose daughter received a perfect 800 on the math SAT and 710 on 
the literature portion despite actually scoring in the “mid-
600s,” court papers say.

Much of the cheating was allegedly performed by Harvard grad 
Mark Riddell, who at the time was director of college entrance-
exam preparation at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

Riddell, 36, would take SAT or ACT exams in place of the kids, 
give them the answers they needed while proctoring their exams, 
or review and correct wrong answers after the kids turned in 
their tests, the feds charge.

In many cases, the kids were unaware the cheating was going on, 
according to Boston US Attorney Andrew Lelling.

Riddell, who allegedly got $10,000 from Singer for each crooked 
test, began cooperating with the feds last month and is 
scheduled to plead guilty to conspiracy charges on April 12, 
according to court records.

Parents who took part in the test-taking scam typically paid 
Singer $15,000 to $75,000 per test, with the money funneled 
through Singer’s IRS-approved charity, the Key Worldwide 
Foundation of Newport Beach, Calif.

As part of the racket, the parents got letters from the 
foundation that let them claim the payoffs as deductions against 
their income taxes, according to Lelling.

In Huffman’s case, she and Macy allegedly met with Singer in 
their Los Angeles home, where Singer explained how he could hire 
someone to proctor Sofia’s SAT “and secretly correct her answers 
afterward,” court papers charge.

During the summer of 2017, Huffman and Singer allegedly 
exchanged a series of emails discussing how Huffman could get 
“100 percent extra time” for her daughters to take the SAT, with 
Huffman writing “Hurray! She got it,” on Oct. 16, 2017, when the 
extra time was approved for Sofia.

The plan appeared to collapse the next day, court papers say, 
when Huffman got an email from Sofia’s high school counselor, 
who said the teen would have to take the test at the school 
instead of a testing center that the feds say Singer controlled.

“Ruh ro! Looks like [my daughter’s high school] wants to provide 
own proctor,” Huffman wrote.

But Huffman and Singer later agreed to tell the counselor that 
Sofia would take the test on a weekend — “so that she would not 
miss any school” — and had the location switched to a test 
center in West Hollywood, court papers say.

There, Riddell “purported to proctor” Sofia’s exam, and when it 
was graded, she got a score of 1420, according to the feds.

That was “an improvement over approximately 400 points over her 
PSAT, taken without [Riddell] one year earlier,” the feds 
claimed.

Court papers don’t detail how Riddell allegedly improved the 
results or whether Sofia was in on the alleged scam.

Huffman was arrested without incident Tuesday morning and was 
scheduled to appear in court in Los Angeles, where reports said 
Macy was waiting in a show of support.
