Is Sex Education Working?

I just read "Mallard Fillmore" and was reminded of when I was a school kid in the 50' & 60's. Back then the teachers spent their time teaching core subjects such as English, arithmetic, science and history. We never heard any instruction on sex or birth control because that was the parents job.

Today's generations are shown sex education videos. The parents can certainly opt to not have their kid attend but with the super self centered condition of todays parents they're going to let their kids stay. Why should they have to do all the work? (read - talk to their kids when someone else can)

Which generation had less STD's? Unwanted pregancies? Better educated kids?

Although the cartoon is funny it hits home.
