It seems to me that a system of legalized prostitution run by respective governments would be able to greatly increase educational funding. I would suggest a system in which legal prostitutes would be tested often and have to use condoms and be registered with their government. This of course would be a blanket resolution not meant to establish prostitution, but merely to make it legal for any nation that would like to utilize such a plan.

Yes, it's been done (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=45) and undone (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=86) and redone. (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=90)

And hopefully undone, and then redone better again.
Yes, prostitution has been in, out, shaken all about, and quite a few positions have been taken on the matter. :)

I detect the possibility of a relatively (depending on moral opinion of the issue) raunchy joke in there....

Like the old SNL Chevy Chase joke. The postal service is issuing a stamp commemorating prostitution. Its a 37 cent stamp but if you want to lick it, it will cost you 50cents(brought up to current costs). Now I feel dirty.
