I think you need to separate the out-of-wedlock birthrate from the teen birthrate. The latter has fallen considerably.

"Fewer babies were born to teenagers in 2010 than in any year since 1946."

What has changed at the same time is the number of adults who are deciding they don't need marriage, and the number of women who decide to raise kids on their own. I'm far less concerned about a 35-year-old woman who decides to have a child while she still can than a 16-year-old who gets pregnant by accident.

>The knee-jerk assumption that if something needs to be taught to kids, it needs to be taught in school systems is way off base.
>Trying to make school systems cures for dysfunctional families - among other things- has led to rising school budgets and declining academic achievement.
>The school systems here are overloaded with nonsense like sex education, day care -anti-bullying sessions, anti-bias sessions, grief counselling, ad nauseum.
>Incidentally, many of the teachers teaching this nonsense are divorced single parents.

As one who was bullied in school and as the parent of a child who was bullied, I think anti-bullying education is absolutely required.
