EDITORIAL POLICY 

As printed on the inside cover of The Star,

The Star stands firm in its opposition to the use of the term "leprosy." We shall never abandon our campaign to secure general acceptance of "Hansen's Disease." Nevertheless, the word "Leprosy" does appear in The Star under circumstances which we feel are unavoidable, namely: when signed articles are authored by someone who does not agree with us or when material discusses the disease prior to the introduction of the term "Hansen's Disease." We dislike the word "leprosy" intensely, but we dislike the practice of censorship even more.

This will be the Policy of this web site
