POV check: Premarital sex a "vice"

I was very close to just changing the problem sentence as opposed to putting a POV check tag, but I realized there may be some people who will not let this die. So, I figured the best thing to do was discuss it first. The following sentence is in the intro "Eventually, this also expanded the realm of "Just Say No" to violence, premarital sex, and any other vices that young people might try." I can understand violence universally being considered a vice, but premarital sex is only considered a vice by a certain religious group. As per WK:NPOV, such possibly "morally offensive" beliefs be attributed to their appropriate faction. Seeing how Nancy Reagan is a Protestant, this detail should be added, or the sentence be re-worded to become neutral. Eridani (talk) 20:03, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that sentence is definitely POV. I'd favour a neutral rewording. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 21:42, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
Since no one has contested the POV check in over 3 weeks, I will change it myself. It my edit is reverted, I will re-tag the article. Eridani (talk) 00:25, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Five years later, it was still unsourced, so I removed it. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:13, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
