Sex ed hasn’t done this. Children being raised without fathers is one factor. A disregard for the culture and mores that made this country great is another. Sex ed is a symptom of a pervasive deterioration of our values and personal responsibility.
Sex ed has done this because it isn’t “biology” and “reproduction” that is being taught. It is the Sex Positive notion that “if it feels good, do it”. Exercise the pleasure principle and there should be NO moral judgements made over any sexual relations regardless of sex, number, age, relation, or speices of partner(s).
Condoms in schools wasn’t about ending STDs and teen pregnancies. It was about settling the argument over whether minors should be having sex. Now the question is how low the age of consent should go.

Yeah, I would agree with that; sex-ed hasn't done this at all. It's the highly promoted over-sexualization of way too many things in our society which is pushing teens into this mess. From this highly-sexualized culture we're in, you then get the teens' peer-group pressure (which is very effective) to carry this forward.
I've seen kids going to Christian schools and going to church, and still succumb to this pressure.
Until our society changes (which I don't think it's going to...), this situation will not change with the teens.
