Long before she became infamous for her arrest as part of what prosecutors say was a scheme to make sure some of America’s richest kids entered some of America’s top colleges, actress Felicity Huffman was fighting educational equality.
A brief video emerged on Twitter showing Huffman, who starred in ABC’s “Desperate Housewives,” sporting a “Cool Mom” top posing with the number 10,400,650.
“The number represents just one of the 130 million girls who don’t have access to an education. If these girls were a country, they would be the tenth largest in the world, approximately the size of the U.K. and France combined,” she said.
“No girl should be denied the opportunity to learn and it’s on us to make the change,” she said. “Let’s get that number down to zero.”
Huffman and former “Full House” star Lori Loughlin were charged along with at least 40 other people Tuesday in a scheme in which parents bribed coaches and testing center staff to get their children into elite colleges, prosecutors said.
Huffman is accused of paying $15,000 to get her daughter into college, an amount that recalls an episode of “Desperate Housewives,” as noted by USA Today.
Huffman’s Twitter video remained, but the actress wiped her Instagram account of a Saturday message she had posted to mothers, Us magazine reported.

No girl should be denied the opportunity to learn
Sounds like you and your daughter are Learning a Valuable lesson right now!!!
LOL today’s word of the day..HYPOCRISY, its what commie libs are known for..which is why they love Socialism, yet they would NEVER give up their own wealth
I just love how this story continues to demonstrate why average Americans should love to hate Hollywood.
Leftists lecturing us as usual. Rules are only for us peasants.
When this lecturing hypocritical, subversive puke says, “Let’s get this number to zero”, does she mean your bank account?
Filthy Heathen Liberals.
I just read a bunch of he twitter comments, this will NOT end well for Hollywood, which is a GOOD THING.
Now about the 800 people Singer said it worked for before this group of 50?? I WANT NAMES of ALL OF THEM
They are frauds..same goes for the commies in Silicon Valley, two of them spew their idiocy about income inequality, etc, yet they paid 50,000 a piece to have others take their kids exams..commies are the biggest frauds
Maybe a bit hypocritical, but she just proved her point about ‘inequality’.
The students rejected for admission now filing a class action suit should use the slogan #mescrewed.
Maybe she was just talking about her own daughters.
Felicity Huffman’s antics resulted in me being “Wait Listed” for Papa Doc Duvalier University
If it weren’t for double standards, Dims would have no standards at all.
Same here. I want to know who the other parents were.
These people are uneducable. It never occurs to them that they are hypocrites, and when pointed out to them, they will never believe it.
The secondary fallout on this has been great to watch. The Obana’s Tennis coach was indicted, Bono’s partner in a socially responsible investment firm was indicted, the adult son living at home of one indictee was interviewed and was defending his parents while smoking a blunt, there is just all sorts of fun to see.
“I confess. I killed Papa Doc with my voodoo. Don’t hit me again. Please don’t hit me again.”
You made me laugh out loud but how many people who do not visit FR would even know of Papa Doc? Then Hillary against Haiti was the next thing to pop into my head. life comes in waves
There enough of us old enough to recall the MBA mills of the 1980’s
