There are a few instances of one of the main characters offering up an offhand mundane explanation for the monster of the week, but otherwise it seems to be the public at large keeping themselves in the dark. Heck, between every woman in town falling obsessively in love with Xander and the Sunnydale PTA engaging in a public witch burning, only willful ignorance on the part of the public could explain things.
Also, both Buffy and Kate Lockley (from Angel: the Series) did try to get the word out about the supernatural. Buffy wound up spending several weeks drugged senseless in a mental institution while Kate was fired from the LAPD.
