MUNICH, Germany — Beducated is advocating for support of the U.S. Department of Education in light of plans to dismantle it.
"As the Department of Education faces deep workforce cuts and a full shutdown under executive order, the infrastructure supporting equitable access to education — especially for marginalized communities — is being eroded," said a Beducated rep. "Key programs like student loans and special education may be reassigned to other agencies, but there is little clarity on what will happen to sex education, Title IX enforcement, and adult learning initiatives."
Mariah Freya, co-founder and CEO of Beducated, also expressed concern.
“Many people fear that the dissolution of the U.S. Department of Education sets a dangerous precedent,” said Freya. “Sex education in the U.S. is already inconsistent, underfunded, and often absent altogether. Without a federal framework to protect and prioritize inclusive sex ed, states will be left to fill the gap — and history shows that many won’t.”
Expanding on this theme, Beducated offered company-researched data, including: nearly 60% of adults report dissatisfaction with their sex lives, and 95% of those surveyed express a desire for better communication in their intimate relationships.
“Comprehensive sex education is not a luxury, it’s foundational to personal health, consent, safety, and well-being,” added Freya. “Slashing federal support while cloaking it in efficiency rhetoric only reinforces shame, misinformation, and inequity. The real cost will be borne by those who already struggle to access reliable sexual health information.”
